On the reverse of each of the 2017 Colorized Proof Australian Rooster Silver Rectangle 4-Coin Sets you’ll find the image of a different rooster in a different setting. On the reverse of each is a colorized design of the rooster, with different plumages and color combinations. The coins have, in no particular order, a black-and-white rooster with long tail plumage, a larger rooster with black feathers, a rooster with beautiful hues of red and orange and white tail plumage, and a multi-colored rooster in the final design.
When you set all four of your 2017 Colorized Proof Australian Rooster Silver Rectangle 4-Coin Set together in just the right order, you’ll create a panoramic scene that connects all of the individual designs into one larger, brilliant design field that includes a Chinese temple, mountain peak, and the rising sun in the background fields.
On the obverse of all 2017 Colorized Proof Australian Rooster Silver Rectangle 4-Coin Sets you’ll find the same image, that of Queen Elizabeth II of England. The longest-reigning monarch in the world today, and Britain’s longest reigning, Queen Elizabeth II appears on the obverse of all Perth coinage and this design is from Ian Rank-Broadley in 1998.
The Perth Mint was founded as the third and final Royal Mint system during British colonial rule. Following the closure of the Sydney Mint and Melbourne Mint, Perth remains the oldest operating facility in the country and is the only mint aside from the federal government’s Royal Australian Mint.
