Set of 3 x 1/2 oz 2015 Australian Outback Coloured Silver Proof Coins | Perth Mint

The Australian Outback coloured silver coin collection celebrates the Perth Mint's popular bullion coins in full colour with half ounce sizing.

The kangaroo coin captures the design of the 2015 bullion Kangaroo coins, with a kangaroo hopping across the outback at dusk and the moon in the background.

The koala coin mimics the 2015 Koala coins, with an adult koala sitting in a eucalyptus tree in a rural setting.

The Kookaburra coin features the same design as found on the 2015 25th anniversary Kookaburra coins.

The kookaburra is surrounded by eucalyptus and fern leaves.

2015 was the last year the Outback collection was issued.

With no more than 2000 sets being issued, these will always be in demand by fans of the land down under.

ABOUT THE PERTH MINT

The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint's 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
