Aurora Australis is the southern equivalent of Aurora Borealis, or the Northern Lights. While the best place to see this natural light display is Antarctica, it’s also visible in places like Australia, New Zealand, and Argentina. The colors are a result of solar storms interacting with gases on earth’s magnetic field. In the same way that an orange flame gets its color from sodium atoms, these lights obtain their unique hues from gases such as oxygen and nitrogen.

All 2022 1 oz Tuvalu Silver Aurora Australis Coins will arrive to you in a themed shipper with a presentation box and a Certificate of Authenticity. Produced by The Perth Mint, these coins are considered legal tender under the monetary authority of Tuvalu. Struck in .9999 pure silver, each coin also includes exquisite proof and colorized design elements.

For the obverse of 2022 1 oz Proof Silver Aurora Australis Coins, there is a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Late Majesty’s reign began on February 6, 1952, following the death of her father, George VI. She proceeded to rule for a record-setting 70 years before her passing on September 8, 2022. The obverse also includes inscriptions of the coin’s weight, denomination, and issuing country.

The reverse side of 2022 1 oz Proof Tuvalu Aurora Australis Coins contains a depiction of the Southern Lights. The display is seen in the Antarctic night sky above a mountain range. It then reflects down against the water as seen from the vantage point of a wooden boat. The light display and the water are presented in vivid color, which contrasts nicely with the proof visuals of the mountains and the boat.
