1822) "Beneath the Southern Skies" Bullion Coin Series, Australia: Royal Australian Mint (RAM) has issued Gold $100 (One Hundred Dollars - AUD) and Silver $1 (One Dollar - AUD) Bullion Quality Coins with a new platypus privy mark: Year of Coin issue: 2021:
The Royal Australian Mint has brought out its latest bullion coins in the Coin Series titled “Beneath the Southern Skies,” which made its debut last year.
The coins released for 2021 include $100 one-ounce gold and $1 one-ounce silver bullion quality strikes.
The Header/Banner carries a representation of Reverse of the Gold $100 (One Hundred Dollars - AUD) and Silver $1 (One Dollar - AUD), placed against a background image of the Australian Continent set amidst the shimmering blue waters of the Pacific Ocean and the stars of the Southern Cross Constellation.
At bottom right is seen an Emblem of Australia, with the inscription - AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT - ROYAL AUSTRALIAN MINT.
The Gold & Silver Bullion Coins:
The motif seen on the Reverse face of these coins is inspired by one of the Coin designer Devlin’s original sketches from more than 50 years ago.
For the 2021 “Beneath the Southern Skies” range, the design includes a new Privy Mark, the Platypus, which represents New South Wales’ animal emblem and is positioned over the location of Sydney.
The Reverse design of the Gold $100 (One Hundred Dollars - AUD) and Silver $1 (One Dollar - AUD) is based on Devlin’s original draft that featured the Australian Continent and the island of Tasmania further to the South.
Also featured is the Southern Cross Constellation represented by five, eight-pointed stars.
Superimposed over the map are the denominations of "100 DOLLARS" (Gold) or "1 DOLLAR" (Silver) and the Platypus just to the left of the constellation’s southernmost star. This draft was retrieved from the Royal Australian Mint’s archives and revised with intricate detail.
The Obverse design of the Gold $100 (One Hundred Dollars - AUD) and Silver $1 (One Dollar - AUD) depicts an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, designed by Jody Clark, whose initials "JC" appear on the Queen's shoulder.
The inscription - "ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 2021" is placed on the upper periphery.
Both the Obverse and Reverse include a background of lines representing latitude and longitude, further enhancing the theme and design of a map.
