This magnificent release is The Perth Mint’s first 10oz silver bullion
piedfort – a coin style that takes its name from French words meaning ‘heavy
weight’.
Based on our earlier Mother and Baby 2oz silver bullion piedfort, the new
10oz version has a diameter of 65.60mm with an extra thickness of 13.50mm.
According to Neil Vance, Group Manager – Minted Products, the original
coin ignited significant interest in the concept of piedfort silver bullion
coins.
“The reaction was pleasing and justified our opinion that investors
are always keen to discover new and innovative silver bullion coins,” he
said.
“We’re delighted to be working with Dillon Gage Metals again to launch
this spectacular 10oz follow-up. With its attractive animal design and the
fact that it represents another first for Australia on the world coin market,
we’re confident it will prove equally popular with investors,” he added
Struck from 99.99% pure silver, the Mother and Baby 2018 10oz Silver
Bullion Piedfort Coin has a maximum mintage of just 2,500.
The coin’s reverse portrays a koala, one of Australia’s favourite native
animals, with a baby (joey) clinging to her back.
Issued as Australian legal tender, the coin portrays the Ian Rank-Broadley
effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse.
