Comments

This Fine Gold Coin was released by the RAM, named Beneath the Southern Skies it is part of a stunning gold and silver investment coin series. It pays homage to Stuart Devlin, whose artwork appears on most Australian circulating coins.

One of Devlin’s early drafts was the inspiration for this new series. The design acknowledges the significance of the Southern Cross constellation, which is one of the most meaningful and recognisable features in the southern skies.  The coin is minted to .9999 purity and manufactured to the Royal Australian Mint’s brilliant uncirculated finish.
