Comment

In December each year, the WA outback comes alive with a riotous display of the golden flowers of the striking Western Australian Christmas tree - Nuytsia floribunda. A perfect celebration of summer Christmas in Australia.

 

The Royal Australian Mint celebrates the upcoming festive season with this beautiful 2024 50c Coloured Fine Silver Proof Coin inspired by our unique native flora. The distinctive canopy of the Western Australia Christmas tree is gloriously reimagined as a festive Christmas wreath, framing a kaleidoscopic sculpted centre of stylised leaves and branches. This stunning proof coin is housed in a special hanging ornament capsule with Mint branded ribbon allowing it to be hung on display during the festive season.

The stunning coin comes in a capsule inside a plush box.
