This wonderfully crafted Tasmanian Devil coin is the fifth release in the Australian Opal series, showcasing nocturnal Aussie animals created in pure opal.
The Tasmanian Devil is a highly distinctive marsupial found only on the island of Tasmania. This characterful creature is recognised by its squat build, black colouring, loud screeches and reputedly bad temper. Although only the size of a small dog, it can sound and look incredibly fierce.
Now listed as endangered, this unique creature is nocturnal by nature.
Struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver in proof quality, the coin is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.
The Perth Mint will release no more than 8,000 of the 2014 Tasmanian Devil 1oz Silver Proof Coin.
The coin’s reverse incorporates an inner panel design of a Tasmanian Devil detailed in pure Australian opal. The outer panel of the coin depicts native soft tree ferns and wattle leaves, a full moon and the Southern Cross – a renowned star group which is only visible in the Southern hemisphere.
The coin's obverse depicts the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the monetary denomination.
