Description
This special limited edition commemorative coin program is inspired by the birds that inhabit the continent of Australia.
Because of the nation’s island status, many of these species are unique and breathtakingly beautiful.
Bird enthusiasts will know the male to be a velvety black color with a gleaming yellow crown, mantle and tipped wing feathers.
The female is olive brown with white markings.
An Australian endemic, the Regent Bowerbird is distributed to rainforests and margins of eastern Australia, from central Queensland to New South Wales.
Proof Quality 99.9% Pure Silver -
The coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 1/2oz. of 99.9% pure silver in proof quality.
Magnificent Colored Reverse Design -

As well as The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, the design also includes representations of native Australian vegetation.
Limited Mintage
- No more than 10,000 of these coins will be issued by The Perth Mint.

“
Unsearched”
—
All of the coins offered in this listing are “unsearched”.
Many coin dealers “search” all coins when they are received from the Mint. They "cherry-pick" the best coins. Then submit them to be graded, certified, and slabbed by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc. These graded and certified coins are then sold at higher, premium prices. When a dealer searches coins, those that they sell in original Mint packaging are only lesser quality coins.
Photos:
When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed. Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered.
Surface areas that appear black on some proof coin photos are actually highly polished, mirror-bright metal reflecting the color of the camera. We often include proof coin photos with the coin slightly tilted to better depict the mirror bright surfaces. However, tilting the coin may
resulting
one side being
slightly
out of focus.
Our goal is to provide clear, high definition photos that accurately represent the coin(s) offered in each of our eBay listings. Whenever possible, we use actual photos of our coins, rather than just stock artwork from the Mint. We frequently update and upgrade the photos that appear with our listings, using improved cameras and lenses and better lighting. We will honor your requests for additional photos as quickly as our schedule permits.
