2018 Australia 100 Dollar 1-oz Gold Bird of Paradise NGC MS70 First Releases - Black

Discover the Paradise of Australia’s Latest Gold Bullion Coin

Australia’s prestigious Perth Mint is one of just a small handful of elite world mints whose pure gold, silver and platinum coins are trusted without question. Not only is it Australia’s official bullion mint, it’s a favorite of collectors around the world because of the way it showcases Australia’s iconic animals and the creative ways it commemorates universal themes and events.

In 2018, the Perth Mint succeeded on both fronts – precious metal bullion and design – with its Bird of Paradise silver and gold bullion coins. These legal tender one-ounce coins are struck in pure gold or silver and feature Australia’s tiny Victoria Riflebird, one of many bird species classified as birds of paradise.

The large 31.1 mm gold coins available in this offer are magnificent. Each is struck in a full ounce of pure 99.99% gold and includes the year, weight, purity and mintmark on the reverse along with the image of a preening riflebird. Each coin has also been professionally graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) to be in perfect Mint State-70 (MS70) condition. In addition, each coin has been certified by NGC to be a First Releases (FR) coin and has been encapsulated in a special holder with a black core and an exclusive Australia Opera House label.

In the social world of Australia’s riflebird, it’s the male who struts and preens to attract the attention of females. It does this by extending its wings to display all of its plumage. This catches sun rays and accentuates all of its bright colors. Once this is accomplished, the male hops from side to side in a mechanical-looking dance. Driving a fancy car seems easier, but since birds can’t drive this must have seemed like the next best thing.

The 2018 Australia Bird of Paradise Gold Coin is from a limited mintage of just 5,000 coins and collectors of Australian coinage and gold buyers alike will be vying for these coins. Past bullion coins from Australia have been quick sell-outs. And at this price we expect a repeat performance! Add the 2018 Australia Bird of Paradise 1-oz Gold Coin to your cart today!
