The Australian one-ounce gold piece (abbreviated as 1 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. The 2022 African Elephant one-ounce gold bullion coin is the third release in a new Australia Zoo coin series and features the African elephant. The Mint says about it: A distinction is made between two subspecies - the African forest elephant and the African savanna elephant. Both species are now listed as critically endangered. | ||||||
