Comment
This coin was issued by the Perth Mint and depicts against a detailed background composed of fish, coral, seagrass and jellyfish, the coin portrays a green turtle which feeds and nests throughout the entire Great Barrier Reef area. Also included in the design is The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.In a nod towards the Reef’s extraordinary age, estimated at over 500,000 years, the coin surface is antiqued, a treatment that tones the natural lustre of silver before it is individually hand finished to mimic the unique characteristics often seen on an ancient artefact.
The obverse of the coin also portrays a guilloche pattern, with each coin's edge individually numbered from 1 to 200.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique silver antiqued finish, which gives it a distinctive vintage look and feel. This finish is achieved through a special treatment process that involves applying a chemical solution to the coin's surface, which reacts with the silver to create a subtle, aged appearance. This process not only enhances the coin's aesthetic appeal but also adds an extra layer of protection against tarnishing and wear.
