Detailed Description

The third gold release from our Treasures of Australia locket coin series encapsulates natural rough diamonds mined in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia.  Sought-after in their own right, rough diamonds are skilfully cut and polished to produce the clarity and sparkle associated with the world’s most celebrated gemstones.

Proof Quality 99.99% Pure Gold

This 2009-dated coin is struck from 1oz of 99.99% pure gold in proof quality.

Striking Reverse Design

The coin’s reverse design portrays an abstract interpretation of Australia’s stark and beautiful landscape.

Contains 1-Carat of Diamonds

The design surrounds a transparent half-circle locket containing approximately 1-carat of Australian natural rough diamonds.  The most desirable of all gemstones, diamonds are a traditional symbol of love, and the modern birthstone of people born in April.

Australian Legal Tender
