2025 $1 Great Southern Land 1oz Silver Proof Snakeskin Jasper Coin

The Term "Great Southern Land" refers to the majestic continent situated in the Southern Hemisphere, known today as Australia.

This term embodies the unique biodiversity and landscape that this expansive land is renowned for. From the lush tropical rainforests to the arid, sun-soaked deserts, Australia is home to an array of vibrant and distinct wildlife.

Home to First Nations people for at least 60,000 years, the inhabitants of these dry areas include Australia's famous pouched marsupials, wild dogs called dingos, colourful birds, and large numbers of different snakes, lizards and other reptiles.

Celebrating Australia's iconic desert species, the coin depicts (clockwise from top) a cockatoo, a dingo, a taipan snake, a thorny devil, a desert ant, a scorpion, a bilby, a bearded dragon, and a rock wallaby.

Also in the design are representation of the sky, sand and rocks, along with The Perth Mint's 'P' Mintmark and the coin's weight, purity and 2025 year-date.

Struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz 99.9% pure silver to proof quality, this coin is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.

No more than 5,000 of these 2025 Great Southern Land 1oz Silver Proof Snakeskin Jasper Coins will be released by The Perth Mint.
