Landmarks Theme – Broome

The coin’s reverse symbolises Broome, a magnet for visitors offering winter warmth and an intoxicating blend of history, romance and indulgence.  From the 1880s, European, Asian and indigenous Australians flocked to Roebuck Bay on the north-west coast in search of pearls and personal fortunes.  Their pearling adventures and the fascinating melting pot of cultures they created still flavour the charismatic town.

Coloured Reverse Design

The reverse design portrays a coloured pearl shell containing four white pearls on a beach.  As well as a lugger at sea, the design also incorporates The Perth Mint's traditional ‘P’ mintmark and the year-date.
