Australia: Great Southern Land Coloured 1 oz Silver 2025 Proof

Australia: Great Southern Land coloured 1 oz Silver 2025 Proof is an exceptional collector’s coin struck from the finest .9999 silver by the renowned Perth Mint. This design pays tribute to Australia’s amazing biodiversity, with its unique landscapes and wildlife symbolized by the term “Great Southern Land.” From tropical rainforests to sun-drenched deserts, this continent is home to many extraordinary species found nowhere else on Earth.

The coin is made of one troy ounce (31.107 g) of silver, measuring 36.60 mm in diameter and 3.95 mm thick. The limited mintage of just 5,000 pieces increases its investment and collector’s appeal. Each coin is housed in an elegant case and comes with a numbered certificate of authenticity.

Reverse features Australian desert animals arranged around an inlay of snakeskin jasper shaped like Australia. This jasper, known for its red and white bands and sourced from the Pilbara region, symbolizes the natural wealth and unique character of the continent. The animals include a cockatoo, dingo, taipan, thorny devil, desert ant, scorpion, bilby, bearded dragon, and rock wallaby. The reverse background includes elements representing sky, sand, and rocks. Also present are the Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, the silver weight and purity, and the year 2025.

Obverse bears a portrait of King Charles III by Dan Thorne alongside the monarch’s name. The rim displays the coin’s face value (1 Australian dollar) and the country of issue (Australia).
