The Perth Mints latest series, Australia’s Remarkable Reptiles, kicks off with the Frilled Neck Lizard, a 1oz silver proof coin with a case and COA. Limited to 5,000 pieces and available now. A commissioned product produced for Downies who inexplicably are $10 AUS more expensive. There will probably be more as without a doubt, Australia does have more than one remarkable reptile.
Yet another Perth Mint series of animal coins. On the one hand it’s easy to roll your eyes at the predictability, but on the other hand it’s a well done reverse and an interesting subject. Quality will be the best as usual, so if you like it pick one up. We do and we will.
Proof Quality 99.9% Pure Silver
The coin is struck by The Perth Mint on behalf of Downies from 1oz of 99.9% silver in proof quality.
Stunning Reverse Design with Colour
The coin’s reverse portrays a coloured Frilled Neck Lizard in defence mode, bordered by a montage of exotic reptile skin patterns. The design also incorporates the inscription FRILLED NECK LIZARD.
