The Australia 1 Dollar Treasures of Australia Oyster silver coin 2011 is a fascinating release from the Perth Mint’s Treasures of Australia series, dedicated to the nation’s most iconic natural riches. Struck from .999 fine silver, this edition highlights the oyster — the source of one of the world’s most desired gems, the pearl. The reverse features a stylized marine-inspired design with curved ocean waves and seashell motifs. In the lower section, a transparent locket capsule showcases an oyster shell insert with a central pearl-like disc, symbolizing the natural beauty of Australian waters. Around the edge runs the inscription TREASURES OF AUSTRALIA, while the “P” mintmark identifies the Perth Mint.

The obverse bears Ian Rank-Broadley’s effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by inscriptions: ELIZABETH II – AUSTRALIA – 1 DOLLAR – 2011 – 1oz 999 SILVER. The locket insert continues seamlessly through to the obverse, visible from both sides.

Issued as part of a limited-mintage series combining silver with unique gemstone or shell inserts, this coin is an exceptional collectible. Its refined design and innovative locket make it one of the most distinctive numismatic creations of the decade.
