Mintage of only 10,000! each coin
This set contains one of each of the five Australian Sea Life II Series coins, Hawksbill Turtle, Starfish, Surgeonfish, Octopus, Manta Ray. Five new inhabitants of Australia’s underwater wonder world are featured on Australian Sea Life II – The Reef series.
The second release in this series is a real stunner featuring everyone’s favourite sea creature, the starfish. The lifespan of this marine creature varies between 10 years for smaller species and up to a reported 35 years for the larger species. Beyond its distinctive shape, the starfish is famous for its ability to regenerate limbs, and in some cases, its entire body.
Despite its name, a starfish is not really a fish at all – hence the alternative ‘sea star’. Many of these wonderfully colourful creatures are at home in Australia’s tropical-to-temperate seas, and because they’re commonly found in rock pools, they’re one of the easiest for all to enjoy!
The coin’s reverse depicts a starfish in colour and includes The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark. Incorporated into the design are the inscriptions AUSTRALIAN SEA LIFE II – THE REEF and STARFISH.
Each coin is housed in a display case with a stunningly illustrated coral reef shipper. When lined up with other shippers in the series, it creates an extended underwater reef scene.
