Beautiful gifts, each release doubles as a hanging ornament that adds a touch of elegance to any tree. Limited mintage is halted at 1,500 coins. This year’s release features a design harking back to Christmas in the bush at a time when settlers used colourful native flora to decorate their homes and verandas. The Christmas 2020 coin is a proof quality 99.99% pure silver with decorative star shaped design & is an Australian Legal Tender too!   Native Wildlife Design is highlighted and the coin’s reverse side portrays a delightful garland of iconic flowers including golden coloured wattle, red Waratah and Bottle brush .

Also included in the design is the inscription Merry Christmas and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
