1 oz Silver Proof Great Southern Land - Snakeskin Jasper coin minted by The Perth Mint. 

The term "Great Southern Land" refers to the majestic continent situated in the Southern Hemisphere, known today as Australia. This term embodies the unique biodiversity and landscape that this expansive land is renowned for. From the lush tropical rainforests to the arid, sun-soaked deserts, Australia is home to an array of vibrant and distinct wildlife.

Celebrating Australia’s iconic desert species, the coin depicts (clockwise from top) a cockatoo, a dingo, a taipan snake, a thorny devil, a desert ant, a scorpion, a bilby, a bearded dragon, and a rock wallaby. Also in the design are representations of the sky, sand and rocks, along with The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark and the coin’s weight, purity, and 2025 year-date.

The design encircles an Australia-shaped insert of snakeskin jasper, a red and white banded iron formation that occurs in the Pilbara, an outback mining area of Western Australia. Said to have calming and healing properties, snakeskin jasper takes a high polish which makes it an excellent choice for jewellery and ornamentation. The obverse depicts the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, and the monetary denomination.

This coin is minted in .9999 fine silver. 

The coin is limited to a maximum mintage of 5,000.
