2014 Silver Australian Opal Series – Tasmanian Devil

Additional Information:

This wonderfully crafted Tasmanian Devil coin is the fifth release in the Australian Opal series, showcasing nocturnal Australian animals created in pure Australian opal.

The Tasmanian Devil is a highly distinctive marsupial found only on the island of Tasmania, Australia. This distinctive creature is recognized by its squat build, black coloring, loud screeches and reputedly bad temper. Although only the size of a small dog, it can sound and look incredibly fierce.

Now listed as endangered, this unique creature is nocturnal and sleeps during the day.

This stunning series will feature eight coins in total, with two new coins released each year.

Forthcoming release: The Masked Owl.

The coin’s reverse incorporates a center piece of pure Australian opal featuring a detailed design of a Tasmanian Devil detailed in pure Australian opal. The outer panel of the coin depicts native soft tree ferns, a full moon and the Southern Cross – a renowned star group which is only visible in the Southern Hemisphere.

Issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965, the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and the monetary denomination are shown on the coin’s obverse.

Each coin is presented in a prestigious display case with a light, which lights upon opening, to represent the moon shining down on the nocturnal creature. The case is packed in a stunning illustrated shipper. Each coin is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
