Silver coin is enriched with the addition of a rare mineral - Chrysoprase

The Great Southern Land series is an esteemed collection of coins whose centerpiece is a map-shaped insert made of minerals or other natural resources. This time chrysoprase, a rare and precious variety of chalcedony, characterized by its intense apple-green color, was used as the material of the insert. It owes its unique hue to the presence of nickel compounds. It is mainly used in the jewelry industry for making jewelry and ornaments. Chrysoprase is also valued as a healing stone in lithotherapy, where it is believed to promote emotional balance and peace of mind. It is one of the most valuable semi-precious stones in its category.

The reverse of this unique coin shows the Australian continent made of chrysoprase, set against a black background. Surrounding it is a design depicting various species of flora and fauna characteristic of Australia. The obverse of the silver coin depicts a portrait of King Charles III, traditional for Perth Mint products, set against an ornate, openwork background. The coin was produced to proof standard and presented in an elegant display box.
