Gold and Silver 2020 Adelaide Pound, Coin from Australia
CoinGold and Silver 2020 Adelaide Pound

Australia is one of the large issuers of bullion coins. Uniquely, there are two independent mints in the country 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. Their issues are normally in standard sizes (mostly based on the troy ounce), but sometimes they also issue coins in non-standard formats, such as this one.

This is a bi-metal - gold and silver commemorative coin.

The Mint says about it:
Honouring the first gold coin ever produced in Australia, this spectacular tribute to the 1852 Adelaide Pound represents a magnificent demonstration of The Perth Mint’s meticulous bi-metal production skills.

Produced in South Australia in 1852, the Adelaide Pound represented an emergency response to the colony’s severe shortage of coins. Regrettably, the first production run was restricted to about 50 coins when the die cracked. Today, Type I examples of the Adelaide Pound are among the rarest and most significant coins in Australian numismatic history.
