AT768 - Australia 2012 $1 AAT Emperor Penguin 1oz Silver Proof
|  |
Distinguished by a
superb full-colour
design, the 9th coin of
the Perth Mint’s AAT
series has just been
released! Eagerly
anticipated, with
this program one
of Australia’s most
sought after modern
series, the 2012 $1 AAT
Emperor Penguin 1oz
Silver Proof is sure to
mirror the sell-out success
of its predecessors.
The tallest, heaviest
Antarctic penguin species,
the Emperor Penguin is
known for its distinctive
markings and deep-seated
parental instincts. The
only penguin to breed
during the Antarctic winter,
Emperor Penguins trek
50-120km over ice to
breeding colonies, where the
female lays one egg. Upon
hatching, the female and
male take turns foraging for
food in the sea and caring
for the chick in the colony.
Capturing the Emperor
Penguin’s strong parental
instincts, this 40.60mm
.999 silver 1oz Proof coin
depicts an adult tending
its chick in full-colour,
united with fully struck-up
and full-colour designs of
Emperor Penguins in the
foreground and background
respectively. Sure to appeal
to anyone enchanted by
the world-renowned quality
of Perth Mint full-colour
coinage, the 2012 $1
AAT Emperor Penguin
1oz Silver Proof is
obviously a must-have
for those attempting to
assemble the complete
AAT series.
With seven of the eight
previous AAT coins sold
out at the Perth Mint, the
incentive to immediately
guarantee supply of the
9th coin in the series is
very strong indeed.
