The Australian five ounces silver piece (abbreviated as 5 oz and designated with Ag for "silver") is a bullion and commemorative 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 Australian Kangaroo five-ounce silver bullion coin with selective gold plating is part of the "Icons of Australia" series and depicts a mob of five kangaroos (in Australian: "roos") - the iconic image by Stuart Devlin which has been the definitive design of the Australian $1 coin since it was introduced in 1984. This is the first time when the design was used on a bullion coin. The coins are issued in Proof FDC grade, in a presentation case with Certificate of Authenticity. | ||||||
