Discover Australia is a magnificent collector coin program from the historic Perth Mint. Scheduled for release between 2006 and 2008, the program comprises pure gold, silver and platinum proof coins depicting Australia's amazing fauna, landmarks and flora.

Proof Quality 99.95% Pure Platinum
These 2008-dated coins are struck from 1/2oz and 1/10oz of 99.95% pure platinum in proof quality. (1/2oz denomination used in obverse illustration.)
Flora Theme - Small Leaf Lillypilly
The reverse of each coin depicts the Small Leaf Lillypilly (Syzygium luehmannii) in colour. Native to eastern Australia’s subtropical rainforest, this densely-leafed tree is famous for bearing tasty ‘bush tucker’. The clove-flavoured flesh of its pink, pear-shaped riberry fruit, which ripens in December and January, is used in a variety of foods, including jam, sauce, chutney and ice cream.
Australian Legal Tender
Issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965, the coins depict Ian Rank-Broadley's effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse.
Uniquely Australian Packaging
Each coin is housed in a superb presentation case with a lid made from Australian blackbutt timber. The case comes in a protective outer shipper featuring Discover Australia's distinctive logo.
Numbered Certificate of Authenticity
Each coin is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
Limited Mintage
The Perth Mint will release no more than 1,000 1/2oz and 2,500 1/10oz coins worldwide.
