Coin Information

The 2020 Sumatran Tiger one-ounce silver bullion coin is the first release in a new Australia Zoo coin series and features a Sumatran tiger. He belongs to the critically endangered species – the number of tigers living in the wild is estimated at fewer than 400 worldwide. The rare species is the smallest living subspecies of the tiger and has its habitat exclusively on the island of Sumatra (Indonesia). Beside his smaller body size, the Sumatran tiger also differs from other tigers by his very strong fur base colour.

The obverse of the coin depicts the crowned old bust of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing the Royal Diamond Diadem crown worn for her Coronation (effigy known as the “Fifth Portrait” worldwide but “Sixth Portrait” in Australia, where the Queen’s portrait by Vladimir Gottwald was fifth). The Queen also wears the Coronation Necklace; originally made for Queen Victoria in 1858, it was also worn at the coronations (as Queen’s Consort) of Queen Alexandra in 1902, Queen Mary in 1911 and Queen Elizabeth (the Queen mother) in 1937. Unlike on British coinage, the effigy is “uncouped” (includes the Queen’s shoulders). In small letters on the left, the artist’s initials JC (for Jody Clark). Running continuously around the rim is the monarch’s legend, the date of issue and the face value: ELIZABETH II · AUSTRALIA 2020 · 1 DOLLAR ·.

The reverse of the coin depicts a Sumatran tiger happily splashing in the water. Around left and above, the inscription AUSTRALIA ZOO · SUMATRAN TIGER. Around right, the precious metal content: 1 oz .999 Ag (one ounce of 99.9% silver; Ag is abbreviated from the Latin word Argentum).
