Mythical Creatures: Chimera 1 oz Gold 2025 Proof
The one-ounce gold coin Chimera 1 is a product designed with collectors in mind. This exceptional coin was minted in a limited mintage of only 150 pieces and, importantly, in proof standard – meaning that both the obverse and reverse have been struck with a mirror-like finish.

The Chimera is a mythical creature described as a hybrid of a lion, goat, and snake, symbolizing strength, courage, and danger. According to legend, the Chimera breathed fire, instilling fear and respect in those who encountered it.
Additionally, this unique product is guaranteed by the Australian government and is legal tender in the issuing country. The coin comes in its original packaging with a certificate of authenticity.
