The Australian Cub Series launched earlier in 2016 with the tiger design, and continues with these adorable jaguar cubs on the reverse of the 2016 ½ oz Australian Cub Series Jaguar Cub Proof Silver Coin.
Jaguars represent the third largest cat species in the world behind the tiger and lion. Native to the Americas, the Jaguar is the king of the jungles in its native hemisphere as the largest cat species in the region. The jaguar is primarily found throughout the dense rainforests of the Americas, but can also be found in other forested areas and open terrains.
Each 2016 ½ oz Australian Cub Series Jaguar Cub Proof Silver Coin arrives inside the Perth Mint’s classic black display case, which is set inside of a colorized Jaguar Cubs presentation box. Your purchase today also includes a numbered Certificate of Authenticity that identifies the individual coin.
On the reverse of each coin is the image of a traditional yellow-and-black spotted jaguar, as well as a sleek black jaguar cub. An Incan temple in the background is topped by an engraving of “Cubs.”
The obverse features the image of Queen Elizabeth II, captured in right-profile relief by Ian Rank-Broadley. Engravings include “Queen Elizabeth II,” “1/2 oz 999 Silver 2016 Tuvalu 50 Cents.”
Australia’s Perth Mint is the oldest operating facility, having originally opened in 1898 as the final of three Royal Mint facilities on the continent. Today, it is controlled by the state of Western Australia.
