Using state-of-the-art minting technology to explore a genre of art with a history that stretches back tens of thousands of years, the Perth Mint has just unveiled the new 2010 Dolphin Dreaming Series! A must-have for those who secured a coin from the popular Kangaroo and Turtle Dreaming series, these fascinating rectangular coins have once again been issued in both .9999 gold and .999 silver.
Capturing the spirit of the Dreamtime in pure, lustrous precious metal, the Dolphin coins feature a brilliant design, created by noted indigenous artist and Perth Mint designer Darryl Bellotti. Giving everyone the chance to enjoy this original work of indigenous art, the .9999 gold series comprises 10g $25 (25.60mm x 15.60mm) and 2.5g $15 (22.60mm x 13.60mm) coins, with the 47.60mm x 27.60mm .999 silver Dolphin $1 coin providing a very affordable alternative.
Genuine Australian legal tender, with the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II gracing the obverse, the 2010 Dolphin coins are sure to catch the eye of collectors worldwide. Moreover, there is no doubt that these exquisitely struck coins, like the Kangaroo and Turtle coins, will be highly sought after as prestigious, distinctively Australian gifts. Superbly presented, with each Silver BU set in an illustrated pack and each Gold BU in a Perth Mint case, every coin is complete with a Certifi cate of Authenticity as well as Darryl’s description of his people’s timeless relationship with the ‘irrabuga’ (dolphin).
A compelling, original work of Australian art, these affordable, inspiring coins form a striking celebration of the oldest ongoing artistic tradition on the planet.
Whether to give the most precious gift imaginable, or to enjoy the thrill of owning bars of genuine, pure, precious gold, the Perth Mint’s new range of .9999 fi ne gold bars are perfect.
Whilst exceedingly rare, it is not just the rarity of gold that has made it the world’s favourite precious metal. It has a unique, virtually indescribable lure, and has been the object of desire of collector and investor alike for centuries. Brilliantly designed and struck to the rigorous standards of the Perth Mint, this exquisite new range of .9999 fi ne gold bars gives everyone the chance to enjoy the unique luxury, beauty and prestige of this rare metal.
An extremely convenient and eminently affordable way to store and enjoy pure gold, the Mint’s new bars are available in a range of sizes, including 5g, 10g, 20g, 1oz and massive 10oz formats. Distinguished by a stylised depiction of the iconic kangaroo upon the reverse, each .9999 fi ne gold bar is inscribed with the weight and purity on the obverse, united with the Perth Mint’s famous swan logo – offering complete confi dence to the collector and investor.
A paragon of purity, precision, presentation and prestige, any of these gold bars would make the perfect gift – especially in the new, improved, more secure Perth Mint presentation packaging. Bearing both the technical specifi cations of the bar and the signature of the Mint’s Chief Assayer, the tamper-proof, serial numbered display card forms the perfect setting for these each of these distinctively Australian .9999 fi ne gold bars.

An inspired gift for those born under the 5th star sign of the western zodiac, and a unique, distinctive addition to any collection, this detailed, superbly struck 38.61mm coin from the Mint of Poland celebrates the sign of Leo. Struck to Brilliant Uncirculated quality from 28.28g of sterling silver, and distinguished by two orange zircon crystals set within the lion’s eyes, each offi cial Belarus legal tender 20 Roubles coin is presented with
a Certifi cate of Authenticity confi rming the mintage of
25,000.
Paying tribute to cities along the Amber
Route – a vital Ancient trade route connecting Europe to Asia, and Northern Europe to the Mediterranean – we are delighted
to be able to offer, for the very fi rst time,
the 2009 $1 Wrocław and 2009 $1 Elblag Amber Route Silver Proofs!
Graced with a variety of images of the Ancient world, each 38.61mm 28.28g sterling silver coin is highlighted by a genuine piece of amber set in the reverse. Produced from the resin of ancient conifers, and considered an extremely valuable commodity by a variety of ancient cultures, the Mint of Poland’s use of this transparent semi-precious ‘stone’ has ensured huge
demand for this innovative, imaginative series.
As one of Europe’s hottest programs, with predecessors sold out at the Mint, we have secured a
small allocation from the 10,000-coin mintage
of each legal tender issue.
A sombre, moving commemorative from the Mint of Poland, this poignant coin marks the 70th anniversary of one of the darkest moments of World War II – the Katyń Massacre.
The Katyń Massacre originally referred only to the murder of Polish military offi cers by Russian forces in a forest near the village of Katyn, Russia in 1940. However, as this was one of several mass executions carried out by the Soviet Secret Police, the NKVD, the term ‘Katyń Massacre’ now represents the systematic liquidation of approximately 22,000 Polish nationals at a variety of sites in April and May of 1940. In a bizarre, macabre twist, Poland’s association of Katyń and national tragedy continued to the actual 70th anniversary celebrations. Travelling to the Smolensk-North Airport in Russia to deliver a speech to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Katyń massacre, the Polish President Lech Kaczyński, his wife, and 87 other politicians and high-ranking army offi cers were killed as the plane crashed whilst trying to land in heavy fog.
A horrifying reminder of the brutality of war, the Mint of Poland was authorised to create fi tting legal tender commemoratives to mark the 70th anniversary of the tragedy. Bearing ‘Katyń’ on the reverse, above a Polish military cap, this 27mm Al-Cu-Zinc BU 2zł is an affordable tribute to the massacre, whilst the 32mm, 14.14g Antiqued sterling silver Proof, depicting the trees of the Katyń Forest fused with crosses in honour of the dead, is a truly haunting collector coin.
