Australia 50 cents Manta Ray Sea Life KM-1847 Fauna PR 70 PCGS silver coin 2012

The 2012 Australia 50 Cents “Australian Sea Life II – The Reef: Manta Ray” silver proof is a graceful tribute to the Great Barrier Reef. The obverse presents the star of the series: a sleek manta ray rendered in rich color, wings outstretched as it glides across concentric, stylized wave lines. Around the scene sit the inscriptions “AUSTRALIAN SEA LIFE II – THE REEF” and “MANTA RAY,” while the Perth Mint “P” mintmark anchors the marine tableau. The reverse carries the right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley (IRB on the truncation), ringed by the legends “ELIZABETH II” and “AUSTRALIA,” the denomination “50 CENTS,” the date “2012,” and the fineness “1/2 oz 999 SILVER.” Part of the celebrated Perth Mint program honoring reef wildlife, the manta ray symbolizes elegance and the fragile richness of ocean ecosystems. Struck in pure silver to Proof quality and graded a flawless PR70 by PCGS, this piece pairs top technical merit with captivating design—an irresistible choice for marine-life and Australian specialists.
