COIN INFORMATION

The Australias Most Dangerous series of designs from the Royal Australian Mint show off some of the deadliest animal species found on the Australian continent and in the waters that line its coast and crisscross its landmass. Second in the series, and first from beneath the waves, is the Great White Shark.

Obverse

The obverse of the 2021 Australian Great White Shark 1 oz Silver Coin comes with the sixth-generation bust of Queen Elizabeth II. This design captures the Queen at the age of 89 as she wears the George IV State Diadem Crown. Jody Clark created this effigy of the Queen in right-profile relief in 2015 for the Royal Mint of England and it has been adopted for use on Australian coins as of 2019. Inscriptions on this side of the coin include Elizabeth II, Australia, 2021, and 1 Dollar.

Great White Sharks are a protected species in Australia where they are prevalent off the continent’s east, south and west coastlines. Though they can be found in oceans across the world, they have become an iconic symbol of Australia. Great Whites are so closely associated with Australia that professional golfer Greg Norman, who was born in Queensland, Australia, was dubbed “The Great White Shark” in reference to his blond hair, imposing size, aggressive playing style and his birthplace.

Reverse

On the reverse field of 2021 Australian Great White Shark Silver Coins is a depiction of the massive Great White. A member of the mackerel species of sharks, the Great White is one of the most feared predators in the sea because of its capacity to do great damage when it attacks and its status as an apex predator. Humans all too often come in contact with Great Whites lingering near the shores. Swimmers and surfers, in particular, are the most likely to come in contact with the Great White and suffer from its killer instinct as a result. The inscriptions on this face of the coin read Great White Shark and 1 oz .999 Fine Silver.
