Australia at Night 2024 $100 Penguin Platinum-plated 1oz Gold Proof Coin

The latest gold coin in our landmark Australia at Night series is precious in more ways than one! Rich in gold and platinum and thoroughly adorable, this playful Proof celebrates one of Australia’s most beloved natives – the Fairy Penguin.

The little Penguin, or Fairy Penguin, is the smallest penguin species in the world – standing an average of 33 centimeters tall and weighing around 1kg. Only venturing onto land at night, they live in colonies and nest along the southern coast of Australia and New Zealand. Australia’s largest colony can be found at Phillip Island in Victoria, where tourists gather as the sun goes down to witness these magical creatures waddle along the beach and into their hearts.

The ’Penguin Parade’ has been beautifully captured on the reverse of this Niue legal tender in 1oz of 99.99% PURE GOLD! The white feathers on the Penguin’s belly and the full moon have been selectively plated in GENUINE PLATINUM, spectacularly struck to Proof quality.
With a limited-edition mintage of only 150 worldwide, presented within a lavish case with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity, this coin will be very popular. Buy now!
