A spectacular tribute, the Birds of Australia Silver-plated Commemorative Collection captures Australia’s wondrous birdlife in full-colour.
Comprising four medallions, this vibrant collection is inspired by – and celebrates – The Birds of Australia. Published in seven volumes throughout the 1840s, this epic work was created by John Gould – the ‘Father of Australian Ornithology’. Finished in silver, each commemorative depicts an iconic Australian bird. Based on original illustrations from The Birds of Australia, the Kookaburra, Galah Cockatoo, Rainbow Lorikeet and Eastern Rosella are all featured. The perfect finishing touch, each 40mm commemorative features a special edition obverse and an exclusive John Gould ‘JG’ Privymark.
A superb celebration of Australia’s rich history and unique wildlife, the Birds of Australia Silver-plated Commemorative Collection is housed in a case with a Certificate of Authenticity.
