2023 Royal Australian Mint Antarctic Territory Humpback Whale Coloured Coin

Once hunted nearly to extinction, Humpback Whales have made a remarkable recovery and are now a common sight in oceans around the world, including off the coasts of eastern and western Australia. These majestic creatures are celebrated in the Royal Australian Mint's new series of coins featuring animals of the Australian Antarctic Territory.

The 50c Coloured Uncirculated Coin in this series showcases a stunning design of a pair of Humpback Whales, one with a calf. The coin depicts the beauty of these creatures as one emerges from a deep blue sea, while the parent and calf submerge with a splash of their tailfins. On the reverse side, the coin features the late Queen Elizabeth II.

This beautifully crafted coin is presented on an attractive card, making it a perfect addition for collectors and a meaningful tribute to the Humpback Whale's inspiring story of survival and resurgence.
