There
is a delay on the production of this product; any order containing Rare Earth
will have a delay of up to six weeks before being despatched. Please take note
there is a limit of one coin per order, says Perth Mint! With original artistry
inspired by ancient forces that gave us brilliant treasures, the Rare Earth
coin has been crafted from 5oz of pure silver and a natural golden diamond.
Aged
at 1.6 billion years, each handset jewel from the Argyle Diamond Mine in
Western Australia’s spectacular Kimberley region represents the epicentre of a
supernova, a stellar explosion like those that forged silver when our planet
was formed.
The
coin’s high relief reverse symbolises the creation of precious metals during an
intense cosmic explosion. These elements were present when gravity slowly
compressed the resulting dust and debris into new stars and planets, including
Earth.
This
coin has been individually ‘antiqued’ to give it a unique finish conveying the
surface abrasions of an ancient artefact. As a result of this treatment, the
appearance of each coin may vary. The design also includes representations of
ancient lava flows and magma pipes which brought diamonds, formed under intense
pressure and heat at great depth, to the Earth’s surface.
A
specialised surface treatment, the coin’s subtle and varying patina exhibits
intriguing traces of elemental colour. 0.035 Carat handset golden diamond, adding
to the coin’s splendour, the exploding star at the centre of the design is
highlighted by a 1.6 billion year old golden diamond from the Argyle Diamond
Mine in Western Australia’s spectacular Kimberley region.
