Silver Two Ounces 2022 Ouroboros, Coin from Australia
CoinSilver Two Ounces 2022 Ouroboros

The Australian two ounces silver piece (abbreviated as 2 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 coin is part of a Perth Mint range of specially shaped coins. The mint says about it:
The coin’s shape arises from two powerful symbols. The ouroboros portrays a snake eating its own tail to represent the regenerative cycle of life, enlightenment and renewal. A horizontal eight-shaped symbol was first used mathematically in the 17th century to denote the concept of the endless and unlimited. A line that never ends, it is commonly known as the infinity symbol.

Obverse

The obverse of the coin depicts at its centre the crowned old head of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing the Royal Diamond Diadem crown and the Victoria Coronation necklace worn for her Coronation. This is her effigy known as the "Fifth Portrait" worldwide and "Sixth Portrait" in Australia, in "uncouped" version - showing the Queen's shoulders and not terminating at the neck as the normal version. The effigy is very small, being in the centre of the figure-eight shape of the coin. There are no designer's initials on the portrait.

Around above, the monarch's legend ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA; around below, the face value, date of issue and precious metal content: 2 DOLLARS 2022 2oz 9999 Ag. "2 oz 9999 Ag" means "two ounces of 99.99% silver" - Ag is abbreviated from the Latin word for silver, Argentum.

The background is decorated with parallel circles around each half of the figure eight, intersecting around the Queen's portrait.

Various designs as individually described below.

Portraying a snake consuming its tail, the antiqued piece is further enhanced with variegated tinting along the snake’s head and body.

The Perth Mint's P mint mark is in the centre below. The designer's initials MR (for Monique Reeves) are below right near the mint mark.
