The only inscriptions on this face include the P mint mark of the Perth Mint and the initials of designer Monique Reeves as MR.
History
The 2 oz silver coins in the Next Generation Series from the Perth Mint are what many refer to as piedfort coins. These impressive, thick blanks have the diameter of a 1 oz silver bullion coin with double the thickness, helping deliver the 2 Troy oz silver content of the coins. Additionally, each coin has radial lines in the background field on both sides.
