The 2025 Australia Great Southern Land 1 oz Silver Snakeskin Jasper Coin NGC PF 70 UCAM from The Perth Mint continues that legacy. It celebrates Australia’s breathtaking deserts and the diverse wildlife that thrives across this remarkable continent. Struck from 1 troy ounce of 99.99% pure silver, this limited-edition coin honors the land’s rugged beauty and enduring spirit.
For over 60,000 years, First Nations peoples have lived in harmony with Australia’s vast landscapes. From tropical rainforests to dry deserts, they’ve adapted alongside unique wildlife found nowhere else. This coin captures that connection to nature. It honors the marsupials, reptiles, and birds that symbolize the resilience and adaptability of life in the Australian outback.
The reverse design is a tribute to the desert’s living treasures. Surrounding an Australia-shaped snakeskin jasper insert, nine creatures form a clockwise pattern: a cockatoo, dingo, taipan snake, thorny devil, desert ant, scorpion, bilby, bearded dragon, and rock wallaby. Each is finely detailed to represent the balance of desert life.
The snakeskin jasper at the center glows in natural red and white bands, sourced from the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Each stone is unique, polished to perfection, and believed to offer calming, grounding energy. The Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark, 2025 year-date, and silver weight and purity (1 oz .9999 fine silver) complete this elegant design.
This proof coin has been graded PF 70 Ultra Cameo (UCAM) by NGC, signifying flawless quality and brilliant contrast. The obverse bears Dan Thorne’s effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, marking a new chapter in Australian coinage. The coin measures 36.60 mm in diameter and 3.95 mm thick, with a face value of AUD $1. Its limited mintage of just 5,000 coins ensures lasting desirability among serious collectors.
Each coin arrives sealed in an NGC archival acrylic holder and accompanied with a premium display box with a certificate of authenticity. The combination of fine silver, natural gemstone, and expert craftsmanship makes it a striking centerpiece for any collection.
