Silver Ounce 2023 One Love, Coin from Australia
CoinSilver Ounce 2023 One Love

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.

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 one-ounce coin by the Perth Mint is intended as gift to someone you love.

The Mint says about it:
Choosing a meaningful gift for the most precious person in your life is simple with this meticulously made One Love coin featuring a stunning proof finish.

Epitomising love, peace and harmony, the coin’s artistry includes two doves and a gold coloured symbol of infinity accompanied by the romantic inscription ‘two hearts two lives One Love’.

Obverse
Australia / Silver Ounce 2023 One Love - obverse photo

The obverse of the coin depicts the crowned old bust of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing the Royal Diamond Diadem crown worn for her Coronation (effigy known as the "Fifth Portrait" worldwide but "Sixth Portrait" in Australia, where the Queen's portrait by Vladimir Gottwald was fifth).

The Queen also wears the Coronation Necklace; originally made for Queen Victoria in 1858, it was also worn at the coronations (as Queen's Consort) of Queen Alexandra in 1902, Queen Mary in 1911 and Queen Elizabeth (the Queen mother) in 1937.

Unlike on British coinage, the effigy is "uncouped" (includes the Queen's shoulders). In small letters on the left, the artist's initials JC (for Jody Clark).

Running continuously around the rim is the monarch's legend, the date of issue and the face value: ELIZABETH II 1952 - 2022 AUSTRALIA 2023 · 1oz 9999 Ag 1 DOLLAR ·.

The inscription around the rim also incorporates the precious metal content. "1 oz 9999 Ag" means "one ounce of 99.99% silver" - Ag is abbreviated from the Latin word for silver, Argentum.

The legend is interrupted by the "memorial" inclusion of the dates of the Queen's reign, 1952 - 2022.

Reverse

Below that is a gold-coloured infinity symbol, framed below by flowers.

The Perth Mint's P mint mark is below right. The designer's initials AH (for Aleysha Howarth) are to the left of the mint mark, on a leaf.

The coins were issued during the reign of King Charles III; however, as his effigy was not expected to be approved for use in Australia until late in the year, they feature a "memorial" obverse with the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II and the dates of her reign, 1952 - 2022.
