The third silver release from our Treasures of Australia locket coin series encapsulates natural rough diamonds mined in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia. Sought-after in their own right, rough diamonds are skilfully cut and polished to produce the clarity and sparkle associated with the world’s most celebrated gemstones.
Proof Quality 99.9% Pure Silver
The 2009-dated coin is struck from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver in proof quality.
Striking Reverse Design
The coin’s reverse design portrays an abstract interpretation of Australia’s stark and beautiful landscape.
Contains 1-Carat of Diamonds
The design surrounds a transparent half-circle locket containing approximately 1-carat of Australian natural rough diamonds. The most desirable of all gemstones, diamonds are a traditional symbol of love, and the modern birthstone of people born in April.
Australian Legal Tender
