Silver Ounce 2024 Chrysoprase - Great Southern Land, Coin from Australia - detailed information

The obverse of the coin displays the bust of King Charles III, which depicts him bare-headed (uncrowned) and wearing a suit and tie, facing left.

Below the shoulder truncation in tiny letters, the artist's initials DT (for Dan Thorne).

Around, the monarch's legend and the face value of the coin: CHARLES III AUSTRALIA · 1 DOLLAR ·.

The effigy is smaller than usual, allowing for more space in the centre of the obverse which is patterned with rays radiating from the centre.

The reverse of the coin features a central stone insert (chrysoprase) in the shape of the Australian continent.

It is urrounded by depictions of iconic rainforest fauna and flora, including a flying fox, a possum, a tree snake, a kingfisher, a crocodile, a butterfly, a tree frog, a cassowary, and an orb-weaving spider.

Around above left, in small letters the date of issue 2024 and the weight and fineness 1oz 9999 SILVER.

Below right, the Perth Mint’s mint mark; instead of the usual P, it is P125 to mark the mint's 125th anniversary. The designer's initials AH (for Aleysha Howarth) are below left, under the frog.
