Few gifts in this world are as joyous and precious as that of new life. When a new child is born, parents are overwhelmed with joy and the sense of responsibility that comes with guiding a new life through the journey of life.

Obverse

On the obverse of 2022 Proof Australian Newborn Silver Coins is an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen is shown here at the age of 89 with the George IV State Diadem Crown on her head. This design was created in 2015 by Jody Clark and is the first Australian portrait of the Queen since 1966 to include her shoulders in the portrait. Inscriptions on this side include ELIZABETH II, AUSTRALIA, 1/2 OZ 9999 AG, 2022, and 50 CENTS.

Reverse

The reverse field of 2022 Proof Newborn 1/2 oz Silver Coins features a depiction of a newborn baby. The image shows a white stork flying off in front of the sun in the distance as a small child lies in a purple blanket in the foreground. The baby has a pillow behind its head with brown hair and green eyes. The child is resting in a purple blanket with green ties at either end. The inscriptions on this side read CONGRATULATIONS and the P mint mark of Perth Mint.

History

One of the enduring tales that parents tell young children is that newborn babies are delivered to the family by a stork. That scene plays out in the reverse design of these coins.
