Just released in late January in Australia and in early February for international sales! The animals represented on these coins may differ on the different metals.
The Dreaming Series consists of five coins in 2009. These are available in platinum in 1/2–oz coins and 1/10-oz coins, gold in 1/25-oz coins, 1/10-oz coins, and 1/2-oz coins, and silver 1-oz coins. All coins in this series are proof quality, and the platinum and silver coins are colorized. These coins come with a Certificate of Authenticity that is numbered. These are limited edition coins.
The 2009 coins can be ordered in a complete set of five, in any size and any metal, with each set will be housed in an attractive holder. Or individually, also in an attractive holder.
The series will run for three years, and the names of the animals featured in future releases have been published. It is possible to subscribe to the three-year complete sets.
The 2009 coins include: Dreaming Echidna, Dreaming Brolga, Dreaming Dolphin, Dreaming Kangaroo, and Dreaming Brown Snake.
These coins are quite different from the 2008 Dreaming Coins in many ways. The 2008 coins were struck on rectangular blanks, these are struck on round blanks. The series has been expanded to include platinum, and the gold coins are now in fractions of ounces instead of grams. The 2008 coins had only two animals, the kangaroo and the turtle. The annual release is now up to five distinct coins! The coins include beautiful presentation cases, as compared to the cardboard holders for the 2008 coins. Finally, both the platinum and silver coins are colorized starting in 2009, while colorization was not used in 2008.
In 2008 the gold coins were available as coins or as pendants. Beginning in 2009, only coins are being minted. But that is no problem to a true coin collector.
All coins are legal tender coins of Australia. The denominations are:
Gold | 1/2 oz | 1/10 oz | 1/25 oz |
Monetary Denomination (AUD) | $50 | $15 | $5 |
Silver | 1 oz | ||
Monetary Denomination (AUD) | $1 | ||
Platinum | 1/2 oz | 1/10 oz | |
