Silver Ounce 2018 Earth and Beyond - Earth, Coin from Australia
CoinSilver Ounce 2018 Earth and Beyond - Earth

The Australian one ounce silver piece (abbreviated as 1 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.

Some of these coins can be classified as "Smartminting" (or "smart minting") due to the technologies used in their production; these include irregular shapes, coloured surfaces, precious stone inserts etc. The coins are targeted at collectors who appreciated them as art rather than at bullion investors.

This coin is the first issue in the Royal Australian Mint's Earth and Beyond coin series dedicated to the planets in our solar system and the space beyond, and celebrates the Earth.

The Earth is one of the nine major planets in our solar system and the only planet where higher forms of life could evolve. The magnificent domed coin of one ounce of silver features the blue planet, the cradle of life. The domed shape makes the earth look particularly realistic on this unique silver coin.

Obverse
Australia / Silver Ounce 2018 Earth and Beyond - Earth - obverse photo

The obverse of the coin shows the crowned mature head of Queen Elizabeth II facing right (her effigy known as the "Fourth Portrait"). The Queen wears the "Girls of Great Britain and Ireland" diamond tiara, a wedding gift from Queen Mary (Her Majesty's grandmother) in 1947 - which she also has on the Machin and the Gottwald portraits.

In small letters below the head, the artist's initials IRB (for Ian Rank-Broadley).

Around the effigy is the monarch's legend and the face value: ELIZABETH II · AUSTRALIA · ONE OUNCE FINE SILVER ·.

The Queen's effigy and the inscription (which includes the precious metal content) are in a small circle at centre.

The rim is wide and represents the Solar System, showing planetary orbits.
