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 second 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 features the Sun. The convex shape of the silver coin adds depth to the Sun, making it appear rounded and particularly realistic, framed by a silver ring. The sun is a nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma at the centre of the solar system. The sun’s diameter is about 1.39 million kilometres, and is the most important star for the earth and it´s organisms. | ||||||
