A Great Catch These silver and gold coins are the perfect gift for fishing enthusiasts and lovers of the outdoors. Rock fishing involves fishing straight into the sea from a rocky outcrop or platform, submerged rocks, rock faces and rocks that emerge from the water's edge. Isolated locations, slippery and uneven surfaces, and the unpredictable nature of the ocean, make rock fishing the most dangerous sport in Australia. Yet despite many reports which detail fishermen being swept to their untimely demise, the exhilaration of the pastime makes it an extremely popular activity across Australia and New Zealand. Hook yourself a beauty today!

The World's Largest Living Reptile The Australian Saltwater Crocodile is the largest reptile in the world in terms of body mass, and is found in suitable habitats from northern Australia through to Southeast Asia, and to the eastern coast of India. This formidable and opportunistic predator is capable of killing almost any animal that enters its territory, propelling itself through the water with surprising speed. Their sheer enormity makes them the most dangerous of all crocodiles to humans. Despite their name, the Saltwater Crocodile not only inhabits salt water but is just as happy in fresh, brackish and saline water. Innovative Australian Map-shaped coin in vivid colour.

Almighty God of the Underworld In ancient Greek mythology, Hades was worshipped as the God of the Underworld and the ruler of the dead. In addition to the underworld, he reigned over any and all things beneath the earth, and for this reason he was also known as the God of Wealth as he presided over all the precious metals that existed underground. Historically, Hades was often depicted sitting on his ebony throne with Cerberus, the three-headed watchdog by his side. His name is said to mean 'invisible' or 'unseen', and the underworld which he ruled over was also called Hades.

The Intelligent Ape The remarkable bond between a mother orangutan and her baby is the only true union among these great apes. Living a shy and solitary existence, the adult female assumes all care giving. She will carry her infant when she travels, and each evening, will assemble a nest in the tree branches where she will nourish and rest with her young. Mother orangutans nurture their young for a number of years, during which time they teach them how to climb, socialise and build their own shelter for sanctuary.

China's Mythical Creatures According to ancient Chinese mythology, the universe was divided into four quadrants marking the beginning and end of the winter and summer solstices, and the autumn and spring equinoxes. These heavenly quadrants were known as the 'Four Celestial Palaces', with each palace represented by a guardian animal with a corresponding colour, element, and virtue. These four mythical creatures include the white tiger, the blue dragon, the black tortoise and the red phoenix.

Rare 22ct Gold Sovereign With the global economic crisis engendered by World War I sounding the death knell for gold as a circulating medium, Australia's 1914 Sovereigns are extremely rare in the upper echelons of quality and are amongst the last sovereigns considered true circulation coins. Struck at The Perth Mint in 1914, and with a comparatively low mintage, the Sovereign is now available in lustrous uncirculated condition.

25 Anniversary Edition
Gold Australian Icon The red kangaroo is the largest of all kangaroos, the largest mammal native to Australia, and the largest living marsupial in the world. It is found across mainland Australia, predominantly inhabiting semi-arid plains, grasslands, woodlands and open forests. The iconic red kangaroo design featured on this stunning high relief 25th anniversary commemorative was originally introduced as part of the Australian Nugget gold coin program as the new theme for the 1989 Proof Issue, and was designed by Dr Stuart Devlin, goldsmith and jeweller to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Historic red kangaroo design struck in brilliant high relief.

The High-Flying Glider The Mahogany Glider is an extremely rare species of gliding possum found only in the fragmented woodlands, in a very small area of Queensland's wet tropics. Named for their mahoganybrown belly, the glider has a black dorsal stripe, and a gliding membrane which extends from wrist to ankle. This mysterious creature was thought to be extinct for some 100 years until it was rediscovered in 1989. The furry critter makes its home in forests with open canopies of trees, gliding from tree to tree at an average of 30 metres high, though some gliders have been known to reach 60 metres. Mahogany Gliders use their long fluffy tails to stabilise themselves on landing. A true Australian treasure captured in vivid colour.
