The Perth Mint :: ‘Enlightenment’ Glass Artwork & 2005 ‘Knowledge’ 10oz Silver Coin

Stunning Glass Artwork
An extremely limited number of 10oz Evolution of Knowledge silver proof coins have been set in stunning glass artworks created Australia's leading fused glass artist - Elizabeth Mavrick. Proof Quality 99.9% Pure Silver Coin
Struck from 10oz of 99.9% pure silver, Evolution of Knowledge is the fifth and final coin in the Evolution companion series to the Proof Issue of the Australian Kookaburra. Coloured Reverse Design
The Australian legal tender coin symbolises man’s timeless pursuit of knowledge. It portrays coloured images of a space telescope, stars, galaxies, nebulas, comets and gaseous clouds, surrounding an image of a man standing inside the basic geometric shapes - a square, a circle and a triangle. The coin also depicts the earth and incorporates the inscription EVOLUTION OF KNOWLEDGE. Dazzling Dichroic Glass
There is no more spectacular setting for the coin than Enlightenment, Elizabeth Mavrick's glass artwork, which uses eye-catching combinations of colours, images and textures, as well as the use of dazzling dichroic glass, an exhilarating material that changes colour as it reflects and transmits light.

Underlining its likely popularity, previous releases in this series - Abstract and Vivid (2001 Evolution of the Calendar), Eternity (2002 Evolution of Time), Literacy (2003 Evolution of the Alphabet), and Numeracy (2004 Evolution of Numbers) - are SOLD OUT.
