2014 Australian Abalone Shell 1oz Silver Proof
The 2014 Australian Abalone Shell coin features a fragment of abalone shell, showcasing the spectacular inner surface of this highly sought after Australian mollusc. Found in significant numbers in Australian coastal waters and adored for their stunning inner shells and pearls, the flesh of the abalone is considered to be a culinary delicacy in many countries, consumed raw or cooked in a variety of dishes.
An adjunct to the Australian Opal series, the reverse design features a sculpted representation of an abalone shell with a polished fragment of abalone shell centrepiece, against a rippled pattern representing the ocean floor. Formed from nacre (or Mother of Pearl), the interior of the abalone shell is iridescent in many species, exhibiting a wide range of beautiful colours ranging from cobalt blues to purples, creams and pinks. The shimmering hues have entranced humans for thousands of years.
Struck by The Perth Mint from one ounce of 99.9% pure silver this 2014 one dollar proof Australian Abalone Shell coin has a limited mintage of only 5000 coins.
