Wombat - 2012 Australian Opal Series Coin

The Wombat is one of the already released, and sold out, coins of the amazing Opal Series.  There is just one coin to go.  Currently, we only have the Kangaroo, the third coin in this four coin series.  So, these are only available through the secondary market, such as eBay.

Our site should you be shopping for the Kangaroo.

Lunar Series Coins from the Perth Mint

The Perth Mint made one complete series of Lunar Coins, and is now on Series II.  The silver and the gold coins use different images, and series II is different from series I.

The silver series and the gold series started at different times, so three silver issues were released in a single year.  Now, the series are synchronized.

Both the silver series and the gold series have colorized versions, where the coins are covered with enamel from the mint.

There is a silver version that is gilded with 24-kt gold to highlight parts of the coins.

The really special coins are the 10-kg silver coins that are colorized, and have jewels inserted as eyes.  Series I used only diamonds, but series II uses various gemstones, giving each coin an appropriately colored insert.

This is the colorized series II rabbit with the jewel eye.  This image is from the Perth Mint.
