2016 Australia 1/10 oz Gold Square Map BU
2016 Australia 1/10 oz Gold Square Map BU
In 2016, the Perth Mint struck a highly unusual sovereign coin that departs from the traditional round shape. This square-shaped piece is minted from one-tenth of an ounce of extremely pure 99.99 percent gold. Because of its unconventional shape and a limited production run of fewer than 60,000 pieces, it stands out as a fascinating example of modern minting techniques. The reverse side of this square coin features a global perspective, displaying a map of the Earth that highlights both Australia and the United States. On the obverse, the coin bears the classic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II created by Ian Rank-Broadley. Surrounding the portrait are inscriptions detailing the year 2016 and the face value of 15 dollars, confirming its status as official legal tender backed by the Australian government.
