The sixth issue in the Royal Australian Mint’s Dolphin Series, this spectacular High Relief coin pays homage to the Hourglass Dolphin.
A small dolphin inhabiting Antarctic and sub-Antarctic waters, the species of Lagenorhynchus cruciger (hourglass dolphin) was identified in 1824. Remarkably, this dolphin is believed to be the sole cetacean identified as a species due only to eyewitness accounts. On the rare occasions it is seen, the dolphin is instantly recognisable due to its markings, which resemble an hourglass.
Capturing this fascinating creature in pure precious metal, this official Australian legal tender coin is struck to immaculate High Relief Proof quality from 1oz of 99.9% silver. Spanning a crown-sized 40mm in diameter, the flan bears an enchanting depiction of two Hourglass Dolphins frolicking in the water, with the portrait of King Charles III found upon the obverse.
With the limited edition of 1,000 sold out, this exceptional collector coin is just like the Hourglass Dolphin itself – rarely sighted. Take advantage of this important opportunity – click add to cart now!
