2016 Australian 2oz Gold Kimberley Sunrise Proof High Relief Coin in Presentation Box

Description

A breathtaking tribute to the rugged beauty of Western Australia’s Kimberley region, the 2016 2oz Kimberley Sunrise Gold Proof High Relief Coin is a masterpiece of numismatic artistry. Struck from 2 troy ounces of 99.99% pure gold, this exceptional release from The Perth Mint captures the dramatic light and landscape of one of Australia’s most iconic natural environments.

A Design That Captures the Moment

The reverse depicts a majestic boab tree standing proudly against the rising Kimberley sun. Radiating beams stretch across the horizon, symbolising the first light of day across ancient terrain. Set within the rising sun is a 0.03 carat fine white diamond, adding a subtle yet powerful brilliance to the design. The diamond enhances the concept of dawn, reflecting light just as the Kimberley sunrise would across the landscape.

Struck in high relief, the sculptural depth of the tree and surrounding terrain creates remarkable dimension and shadow, bringing the scene to life.

The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, along with the monetary denomination of 500 Dollars, affirming its status as Australian legal tender.

Limited Mintage and Individual Numbering

With a limited mintage of only 500 coins worldwide, this release is highly sought after by collectors of premium Perth Mint gold proofs.

This example is individually numbered 166, further enhancing its collectability and appeal.

Presentation and Authenticity

The coin is housed in a striking triangular presentation case, reflecting the geometry of the sunrise motif. The outer box features elegant Kimberley Sunrise branding, while the interior securely displays the coin alongside its official numbered Certificate of Authenticity issued by The Perth Mint.
