Australia produces around 95 per cent of the world’s opals, including gem quality opal from the South Australian town of Coober Pedy, and coveted black opal from Lightning Ridge in New South Wales.
This 2008-dated coin is struck from 1oz of 99.99% pure gold in proof quality.
Striking Reverse Design
The coin’s reverse design portrays an abstract interpretation of Australia’s stark and beautiful landscape.
Contains 1-Carat of Opals
The design surrounds a transparent half-circle locket containing approximately 1-carat of Australian white opals. A token of hope and purity in ancient times, opal is the modern birthstone of people born in October.
Australian Legal Tender
Issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965 , the coin bears the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on its obverse.
Presentation Packaging
The coin is housed in a presentation case with a jarrah timber lid featuring a circular viewing window. The case comes in a beautifully illustrated box shipper.
