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.

Mythical Creatures: Chimera is made from pure gold with a weight of one troy ounce and a fineness of Au.9999. It is produced by Australia's oldest mint – The Perth Mint. 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.

Obverse of the gold coin features the portrait of King Charles III designed by Daniel Thorne. The inscription around the portrait reads "CHARLES III," "AUSTRALIA," along with information about the face value, weight, and fineness.

Reverse displays an engraved portrait of the mythical creature Chimera. The inscription around it reads "MYTHICAL CREATURES" and "CHIMERA." The reverse was designed by Natasha Muhl.
