RAM – 2022 Impressions Of Australia 1/10th oz Gold Proof

Description

The Australian tenth-ounce gold piece (abbreviated as 1/10 oz and designated with Au for “gold”) is a bullion coin format. Uniquely, in Australia there are two mints authorised to strike legal tender: the Royal Australian Mint (which also makes the country’s circulating coinage) and the Perth Mint which only makes collector and bullion coins, as well as other bullion products.

Both mints endeavour to create coins with attractive designs, and to introduce new designs and themes often, in order to raise the numismatic value of the coins over the value of previous metal used.

The Mint says about this coin:

The Royal Australian Mint has immortalised Australia’s most Iconic animal as part of it’s ongoing “Kangaroo Series”, now in its twenty ninth year.

This 2022 $10 Gold Proof Coin features a glorious kangaroo design that pays homage to the great Australian Impressionists. An informal and evocative style evokes the play of light and shadows unique to Australia’s flora and fauna.
