    Hi.. Wanted to share this coin that I acquired recently. Its truly one of the most beautiful coins that I have.

    Its from the Perth Mint.

    Here are some details of the coin. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

    Struck from 99.9% pure silver in proof quality, the coin features delicately frosted design elements on a polished, mirror-like background.

    The 2004-dated 10oz silver coin is inscribed with the words EVOLUTION OF NUMBERS. Its magnificent reverse portrays numbers, symbols, glyphs and mathematical signs. Other elements include part of a stylised Chinese abacus and the spiral shape of a nautilus shell, one of several objects in nature which demonstrate the Fibonacci sequence - a series of numbers beginning with 1 in which each number is the sum of the two previous numbers

    The obverse of this Australian legal tender coin depicts the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the monetary denomination

    The Perth Mint will release just 1,500 of these beautiful coins.

    I like the reverse. The australian mint seems to be one of few ones which produces decent coins.

    Jerome,it is the Perth Mint that strikes the Aussie bullion medal-coins.Here's a link; www.perthmint.com.au .

    Shomesg,that is a very nice & unusual medal-coin you've got there.
