The lower half of the coin incorporates a transparent 'locket' containing 1 carat of natural rough diamonds mined in the East Kimberely region of Western Australia.
Formed under intense pressure and heat deep within the earth diamonds are found near the surface in volcamic 'pipes'. Considered to be the most desirable of all gemstones diamonds are a traditional symbol of love and is the modern birthstone of people born in April.
The coin is the third in a five-year Treasures of Australia series celebrating the continent's abundance of natural riches by featuring five glittering prizes found in Australia - Sapphires Opals Diamonds Gold and Pearls.
