Perth mint is going to release a new 2oz antiqued high relief coin showing a kangaroo in February. It is announced on forthcoming releases for 2nd February here: http://www.perthmint.com.au/forthcoming-releases.aspx (Australian Kangaroo 2016 2oz Silver High Relief Antiqued Coin ) and was indicated as a 1oz coin on treasurer notes no. 3 of 2015 and no further amendmend issued yet: https://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2015L01216/Explanatory Statement/Text "Australian Kangaroo Antiqued Coin - Silver Collector Coin The design on the Australian Kangaroo Antiqued Coin (1oz) silver bullion coin, consists of a representation of a kangaroo against a landscape of its natural habitat that depicts trees, grass trees, grasses, kangaroo paws, ground, scrub and a lizard on a log. The coin includes an inscription of the initials of the designer Wade Robinson 'WR'." Possibly it will be shown on World Fair of Money 2016 in Berlin. A new series starting? Any hints for the design?
Obviously strictly limited by embargoes in what can be revealed, I will say it's a really beautiful piece and collectors will definitely want to check this out on launch day. I reckon most will want one.
Yes strictly limited by embargoes. But I am told that it will be shown on World Money Fair in Berlin starting on 5th of February. Maybe I can send you some pics after the coin show here. It will be available for sale at WMF, barring unforeseen eventualities. I am citing: "This year they include the 2016 Australian Kangaroo 2oz Silver High Relief Antiqued Coin. This spectacular new issue is struck in high relief to a rimless format and features an antique finish to capture the depth and detail of the design. Featuring the beloved Australian kangaroo as it bounds across a typical Australian outback landscape, this is a truly exceptional release."
Will actually be at the show again, never miss Berlin, and should be running lots of our AgAuShoots from there. I'm quite organised this year for a change. You have no idea how rare that is...
You mean to be organised? It will be my second time there in Feb. By the way if you study the PDF catalogue carefully you will find another leak.
So I take it we won't be able to see what this coin looks like until launch day? Or are there pics posted somewhere.
@natsmezz I did not find any pics yet. Only that passage I was citing from of the World Money Fair 2016 catalog on page 32. And because of its embargo policy the PM is not allowed to unveil details before 4th of Feb (even not those alreaded leaked by the catalog). ;-)
I think this coin is going to be very well received, it's stunning! The lizard in the foreground is a nice touch ;-)
Unfortunatelly no further known details as already cited: "This year they include the 2016 Australian Kangaroo 2oz Silver High Relief Antiqued Coin. This spectacular new issue is struck in high relief to a rimless format and features an antique finish to capture the depth and detail of the design. Featuring the beloved Australian kangaroo as it bounds across a typical Australian outback landscape, this is a truly exceptional release."
Seriously nobody here subscribes to 24KArabiaFelix? Both the kangaroo and norse god designs are revealed in his latest video: https://youtu.be/WrEfByyYVQw
@Altima Thanks for sharing. That is why we are here...to share and to exchange. Nobody can know everything.
Oh. I was just surprised that nobody was on his channel that's all. Not to belittle anyone And yeah, you should check out his channel for some serious gold stacking.
Wait a minute.... ANOTHER Norse Gods/Kings/Legend/etc. series?!? I'll be avoiding that like the plague. 4 series in six months or am I missing a few?
I would have posted a link to the video myself, but I wasn't sure if revealing the source was a "no no" here since this forum seems to respect Perth Mint embargo periods. Anyway yes, there is a lot of good info being shared on youtube, and I tell youtubers there is a lot of good information being shared here ;-)
Perth mint told him to take it down,& he complied with them as he doesn't want to upset his relationship the Perth mint. He told me as he is sub of mine & visa versa.
first big coindealer in Germany already selling the 2 oz Kangaroo Antique Finish - seems they doesn't care about embargo http://www.reppa.de/12471.htm
