Australia 1 dollar Australian Opal The Wombat Fauna PR69 PCGS silver coin 2012

The 2012 Australian $1 silver proof coin from the celebrated Australian Opal Series is dedicated to the wombat, a marsupial native to the forests and grasslands of Australia. Crafted by the Perth Mint from 1 oz of .999 fine silver, it stands out thanks to its mesmerizing genuine opal inlay, making each coin a one-of-a-kind collectible.

The reverse showcases a wombat depicted in precious opal, its shimmering hues of green, blue, and red catching the light. Surrounding the centerpiece are finely detailed engravings of native flora, a crescent moon, and the Southern Cross constellation, reflecting the animal’s nocturnal nature. The inscriptions include WOMBAT, alongside the Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark. On the obverse appears the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, accompanied by the inscriptions ELIZABETH II • AUSTRALIA • 1 DOLLAR.

Graded PR69DCAM by PCGS, this coin combines gemstone artistry with the prestige of Proof silver and near-perfect preservation. With its limited mintage and place in the acclaimed Opal Series, it remains a highly desirable addition for collectors of wildlife, gemstone coins, and Australian numismatics.
