2009 AUS 1/25 oz Gold Discover Australia Series Snake (Coin only)
2009 AUS 1/25 oz Gold Discover Australia Series Snake (Coin only)
In 2006, a captivating numismatic journey began with the launch of a series dedicated to celebrating the unique fauna of the Australian continent. This 2009 release highlights one of the country's most formidable reptiles, the King Brown Snake, rendered in a highly stylized artistic format on the reverse. Struck in a proof finish, this diminutive piece contains 1/25 ounce of 99.99 percent pure gold, translating to an actual gold weight of 0.04 ounces. The reverse face displays the slithering reptile alongside the inscription "DISCOVER AUSTRALIA", the 2009 issue year, and the specific weight and purity. Collectors will also spot the traditional "P" mint mark, representing the Perth Mint. On the obverse, the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Ian Rank-Broadley is featured alongside the official face value of 5 Dollars. Backed by the Australian government, this sovereign legal tender coin was produced with a strictly limited mintage, making it a fascinating study in micro-engraving and wildlife design.
