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 a wedding gift.
The Mint says about it:
"A wedding ceremony represents one of humankind’s oldest customs. An important part of the day’s rituals comes in the form of presents for the bride and groom. Making the choice easy for guests is this meticulously crafted wedding coin symbolising unity and happiness." |
