Great Southern Land 2024 1oz Silver Proof Chrysoprase Coin

This beautiful 1oz silver proof coin features an Australia-shaped insert of chrysoprase, an eye-catching green gemstone also known as ‘Australian jade’. Deriving its verdant colour from nickel, the gorgeously green insert perfectly epitomises the lush habitat and remarkable biodiversity of Australia’s rainforests.

Known by the familiar epithet ‘Great Southern Land’, Australia is an island continent of extraordinary landscapes and biodiversity. Among its most remarkable natural environments are the rainforests of northern and eastern coastal regions. Comprising tropical, sub-tropical and cool-temperate habitats characterised by high rainfall, lush growth, and dense treetop canopies, they support a rich array of Australian animals and insects, as well as thousands of plant species.

Struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver in proof quality, the coin is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.

The Perth Mint will release no more than 5,000 of the Great Southern Land 2024 1oz Silver Proof Chrysoprase Coin.
