Celebrating 125 Years of the Perth Mint is this beautiful coin designed by Jennifer McKenna.
The iconic depiction of native animals is without a doubt a key selling point here.
Reflecting its best-known contemporary coin series, the piece portrays a kangaroo, kookaburra, and koala artistically arranged among a representation of golden wattle, Australia’s national floral emblem. The inscription “1899 THE PERTH MINT 2024” appears in a scroll at the foot of the design. Also included are a ‘P125’ mintmark and the coin’s weight, purity, and year-date.
The coins are individually encapsulated direct from a tube.
As bullion coins they do not have a certificate or box.
