The Perth Mint’s second release in the Australian Megafauna series celebrates a massive marsupial that roamed the Outback during the Pleistocene period (2,588,000 to 11,700 years ago).

Composed of .999 pure silver, this 2014 1 oz Silver Diprotodon has been graded PF69 by the NGC — making it the perfect addition to any investment portfolio.

The reverse features Peter Trusler’s Diprotodon design: the wombat-like creature resting comfortably in front of a natural, colorized background. It is inscribed with the words DIPROTODON, along with the coin’s weight, fineness and the mint mark P.

The obverse features Ian-Rank Broadley’s portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, along with the coin’s year and denomination.

PF69 on the Sheldon Grading Scale

Invented by American psychologist and numismatist William Herbert Sheldon, Jr (1898-1977), the Sheldon Coin Grading Scale is a 70-point system used to determine the quality of a coin. Reputable grading organizations — including the NGC — use the Sheldon Scale to assess a coin’s condition.

PF69 denotes a proof coin that is in nearly perfect condition. It has maintained its original luster, and there are no more than two flaws visible using magnification. The coin has a sharp strike with no scuffs or hairlines, and it has a nearly flawless appearance.

About the NGC

The Numismatic Guaranty Corporation made its debut in 1987, as the need for standardized coin grading grew increasingly important. Since that time, the Florida-based organization has worked tirelessly to elevate coin grading standards across the globe.

The third-party grading service is the largest in the world, and it has assessed more than 27 million coins since its inception. As the official coin grading service of the American Numismatic Association, the NGC encapsulates each certified coin in a sonically-sealed holder made of inert materials, protecting each one for future generations.

About the Perth Mint

The Perth Mint was founded in 1899 after gold was discovered in local deposits. The newly-established mint struck gold and silver sovereigns until Great Britain abandoned the gold standard in 1931.

The mint remained under British ownership until July of 1970, when it ceded to the state government of Western Australia. Today, the Perth Mint produces nearly all of the nation’s legal tender bullion coins in its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.
