The Australian five ounces gold piece (abbreviated as 5 oz and designated with Au for "gold") is a bullion coin format. Uniquely, in Australia there are two mints authorised to strike legal tender: the Royal Australian Mint (which also makes the country's circulating coinage) and the Perth Mint which only makes collector and bullion coins, as well as other bullion products. Both mints endeavour to create coins with attractive designs, and to introduce new designs and themes often, in order to raise the numismatic value of the coins over the value of previous metal used. This coin is part of the second release in the Australian Road Sign series, and features a Koala Road Sign. The reverse design depicts a road sign well known to Australian drivers. These yellow diamond-shaped warning signs alert drivers to wildlife crossing the country's roads and show a variety of animals, one of the best known of which is the koala. | ||||||
