Australian Megafauna Genyoris

The third coin in the five coin Australian Megafauna Series, the Genyoris, is now available.  This series sheds light on creatures that once lived in Australia, the Genyoris being from the Pleistocene period.  Two earlier releases are still available, so completing the series is a real possibility.

450th Anniversary of the Birth of William Shakespeare

The Perth Mint in Australia has released a 5 Troy ounce fine silver coin commemorating the 450th Anniversary of William Shakespeare.

This proof coin shows a thespian, presumably Shakespeare, on stage, with the King looking on from a balcony.

This coin has a very low mintage of just 450 pieces, and a few remain available at the mint.  It is likely to sell out quickly.  One might also note that the price at the time of this article is such that one would pay fewer U. S and probably Canadian dollars than the amount shown in Australian dollars.  We recommend you check the price in your currency before determining how much the Perth Mint is charging.

The desired P mint mark is clearly visible on the reverse.  Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II appears in effigy on the obverse.

The coin is legal tender for Tuvalu, and the Tuvalu dollar is on an equal value as the Australian dollar, trading one for one.

The coin comes with a serialized Certificate of Authenticity, and is housed on a presentation case and box worthy of such an exquisite piece.

I rarely add a personal note, but in this case must include that one of my ancestors was a godfather of William Shakespeare, so I am particularly gladdened to see the great bard so honored.

We do not stock the coin, but recommend you click the banner and purchase directly from the Perth Mint.

Perth Mint Releases Gilded Horse Coins

The Perth Mint has released its 2014 Lunar Horse coins that are struck in one ounce silver and gilded with gold.  These coins come with excellent packaging and numbered certificates of authenticity.

This issue is also available in a capsule, with no case, but we do not recommend this unless you are going to have the coin graded.  The box makes resale easier, and should help the coin retain its value.

We do not stock this coin, but have a link to The Perth Mint on our home page.  Purchasing from the mint is easy.
