  Authentic opal insert

  The design encircles a round opal insert. Opal is known as Australia’s national gemstone. In ancient Aboriginal Dreamtime stories, it was created when a rainbow touched the earth. It is also known to Indigenous people as the ‘fire of the desert’. Today, Australia produces most of the world’s precious opal, which when cut and polished can be used to create some of the world’s most alluring jewellery pieces. Variations in colour and appearance of the insert are inherent due to the natural formation of opals, making each coin in the mintage one-of-a-kind.

  Presentation packaging

  Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, the coin comes in a FSC accredited timber veneer display ca
