Silver Half Ounce 2024 Newborn Baby, Coin from Australia
CoinSilver Half Ounce 2024 Newborn Baby

The Australian half ounce silver piece (abbreviated as 1/2 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 silver half-ounce coloured coin by the Perth Mint is intended as a gift on the occasion of a newborn baby.

The mint says about it:
The untold joy at the arrival of a new baby is worthy of a timeless gift. This delightful release represents the perfect keepsake that doting parents will treasure on behalf of their bundle of joy.
