Authentic Australian Opal

At the heart of the coin is a beautiful round Australian opal insert, surrounded by an intricate representation of the diverse wildlife and landscapes found throughout the Australian outback.

The detailed design showcases a variety of native wildlife, including a dingo, python, wolf spider, bilby, spinifex pigeons, perentie, echidnas, blue-tongued skink, desert tree frogs, rock wallaby and emus, together with native vegetation and rugged rock formations.

Because opal is a naturally occurring material, variations in colour and appearance make each coin subtly unique.
