Celebrate the incredible history of Australia and its impressive animals with this 2021 Australian 2 Oz Silver Platypus Coin from Hero Bullion. This coin comes to use from the Perth Mint, which is the state mint of Australia. The Perth Mint has an especially solid reputation for its Next Generation Series. In this revered series, collectors can commemorate several of the most important animals to Australian history and culture. The crocodile, the adorable crocodile, and the kookaburra are all animals who have made appearances on these limited mintage coins.

 

Where did you first encounter the adorable platypus? For some people, it was during a trip to the zoo. Others first saw a platypus in the Phineas and Ferb animated television show.

 

Regardless of how you first came into contact with the animal, it’s hard to deny their unique level of cuteness. Their unrivaled purr, the strange cross-section they provide between different animals, and their limited numbers worldwide all contribute to the popularity of the platypus.

 

For Australia, the animal holds a special place in the hearts of citizens everywhere. The platypus has been a unique symbol of Australia for many decades. 

 

Key Features: 

  • 2 Oz .9999 pure silver. 
  • Limited Mintage: 75,000!
  • Obverse Depiction: Two platypuses swim peacefully. 
  • Reverse Depiction: Queen Elizabeth’s face. 
  • Recommended Supplies: 2 oz Next Generation Capsule, Capsule Tube

 

The platypuses on the coin are actually a mother and a baby, adding a new level of cuteness to this coin, which is already designed to be as adorable as possible. In the background of the two swimming creatures on the obverse, you can see rocks and vegetation. Bubbles also come up from the two animals, demonstrating that these cute creatures are actually mammals.

 

As the fourth release in the Next Generation Series, the Silver Platypus Coin demonstrates a core design element of Perth Mint. These obverse sides help to highlight the unique majesty of Australia’s most famous animals. 

 

There are only 75,000 of these coins being minted. All of the coins in the Next Generation Series are limited mintage, which is great news for people who plan to collect all of the pieces in the series. It’s unlikely that any of these coins will depreciate in value, considering that they’re both rare and exceptionally detailed and designed.

 

The mother and baby on the obverse of the Silver Platypus coin are struck in extreme detail, and even the fur on their tails are visible. 

 

The reverse of this coin pays homage to many of the coins produced by the Perth Mint. Queen Elizabeth II is depicted on this side of the coin in exceptional majesty. She wears her earrings, her crown, and her famous pearl necklace. The relevant info about this coin, including its weight and purity, are also inscribed on this side. 

 

Whether you appreciate the platypus itself or plan to profit from securing all of the limited mintage coins in the Perth Mint Next Generation Series, the 2021 Silver 2 Oz Australia Next Generation Platypus Coin is an excellent choice.
