Tourists in the coastal Australian town of Exmouth witnessed an incredible event on April 20th, 2023. Just before 11:30 AM, a total solar eclipse occurred for approximately 62 seconds. In honor of this majestic natural occurrence, Perth has fashioned a new silver coin featuring a total eclipse in colorized detail with an antique finish. Right now, you can buy 2023 Colorized Antique Australian Ningaloo Eclipse 2 oz Silver Coins online at Provident Metals.
Coin Highlights:
These 2023 Colorized Antique Australian Ningaloo Eclipse 2 oz Coins were struck in .9999 pure silver at The Perth Mint. Each piece is considered brand-new and will arrive in special mint packaging. This consists of a themed shipper, a handsome display case, and a Certificate of Authenticity.
Obverse
Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is depicted on the obverse of 2023 Colorized Antique Australian Ningaloo Eclipse Silver Coins. This portrait is credited to Jody Clark, whose initials appear just below it. There are inscriptions across the border as well that read ELIZABETH II 1952-2022, AUSTRALIA 2023, 2 OZ .9999 AG, 2 DOLLARS.
Reverse
The Ningaloo Eclipse is captured on the reverse of 2023 Colorized Antique Australian 2 oz Silver Coins. This design beautifully depicts the moon obscuring the sun and also includes a lovely view of the coral reef below.
History
An eclipse can only occur during an eclipse season when the New Moon is close to a lunar node. The lunar nodes describe the two points where the plane of the moon’s orbital path around the globe crosses Earth’s orbital plane around the sun. Unlike a lunar eclipse, which is visible from all regions on the night side of the planet, a solar eclipse is much harder to see. This is because the moon is quite small compared the sun, meaning the perspective must be exact for the eclipse to occur.
