Australia Obverse 2007 Australian Year Of The Boar Ten Kilo Coin in Display Case

Ten Kilo Silver Coin - Possibly the Largest Silver Coin in the World!
The ten kilo Chinese Lunar Year series were first issued in 2006 for the Year of the Dog. They have a face value of $300.

Production Notes
One of the world's largest coins at 220 mms (about 11 inches) in diameter, and weighing 10 kilos. Each coin takes 2 or 3 days to produce, as currently they are not die-struck, but milled using the cutting tools normally used to create the steel dies. Because of this, each coin may show some slight variation. The surface finish is not as high as might normally be expected, especially from the Perth Mint, whose production is usually superb. One coin receives individual finishing.

Presentation and Packaging
The ten kilo coin is different to the smaller coins in that it is not in a round plastic capsule, it is presented rather nicely in a square perspex case held together with brass screws.
Unusually for a bullion coin it is also supplied with a certificate of authenticity containing it's unique issue number and confirming the specifications.
Our images show the ten kilo silver year of the boar coin complete in its' perspex display case and year of the dog just as a loose coin.

Issue Limit
The ten kilo coins are limited to strictly 1,000 pieces.
