1 oz 2013 Megafauna Series Procoptodon Silver Coin - Perth Mint

Limited Mintage of 6,500 Coins!

The Perth Mint of Australia has long been producing coins which celebrate the vast array of wildlife that has called the large island continent home. While there are countless animals and species living in Australia now, there are countless more who have gone extinct. The 1 oz Australian Silver Megafauna Procoptodon celebrates a kangaroo-like animal that went extinct roughly 50,000 years ago. This interesting proof coin has a design and characteristics the likes of which you will find on few other coins, and for that reason it is especially popular for both collectors and investors.

The 1 oz Silver Procoptodon proof coin is comprised of .999 pure silver and is part of a limited, 6,500 coin, mintage. The coin’s reverse was designed by Peter Trusler, a world-renowned artist and zoological expert. The reverse features a Procoptodon against a natural, colorized background with a young Procoptodon in its pouch. Above the animal’s image is an inscription which reads “PROCOPTODON” while the weight and purity indications are located on the bottom of the reverse. The coin’s obverse features Queen Elizabeth II as depicted by Ian Rank-Broadley. The $1 AUD face value and inscriptions which read “Elizabeth II”, “Australia”, and “2013.”

The Perth Mint has been in business since it was established in 1899 as an extension of the Royal Mint of England. Though it now operates as an independent entity, the quality of Perth’s coins are up there with the best in the world. Because the 1 oz Silver Procoptodon is comprised of 99.9% pure silver and is part of a very limited mintage, it only makes sense that these coins are only going to be around for a limited amount of time.
