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 99.9% Pure Silver
These 2006-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.)
Red and Green Kangaroo Paw The reverse of each coin depicts Red and Green Kangaroo Paw (Anigozanthos manglesii) in colour. Proclaimed the floral emblem of Western Australia on 9 November 1960, it only occurs in the south-west of the State. French botanist Jacques-Julian Houton de Labillardiere collected the first specimens at Esperance in 1792. Its common name is derived from the appearance of the unopened cluster of flowers. The coloured reverse includes the year-date.
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.
Presentation 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.
