Australia 1 dollar Treasures Opals Locket PR69 PCGS silver coin 2008

The Australia 1 Dollar Treasures of Australia Opals Locket silver coin 2008 is a rare numismatic innovation by the Perth Mint, celebrating one of the country’s most iconic gemstones. Struck in .999 fine silver, this edition belongs to the Treasures of Australia series, combining precious metal with real opals. The reverse design depicts a stylized Australian desert landscape, with curved sand dunes under the blazing sun, reflecting the natural environment where opals are found. In the lower section lies a transparent locket capsule containing genuine Australian opals, glimmering with subtle natural colors. Around the edge runs the inscription TREASURES OF AUSTRALIA, while the Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark confirms authenticity.

The obverse features Ian Rank-Broadley’s effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, encircled by inscriptions: ELIZABETH II – AUSTRALIA – 1 DOLLAR – 2008 – 1oz 999 SILVER. The opal-filled locket is also visible from this side, allowing the gemstones to shine from both perspectives.

Certified PR69DCAM by PCGS, the coin is nearly flawless and highly collectible. With limited mintage, gemstone artistry, and its innovative locket design, it remains a coveted treasure in modern numismatics.
