The 2021 1oz Super Pit Australia Silver Round is a distinctive bullion-style release from The Perth Mint, struck from 1 troy ounce (31.1 grams) of 99.99% pure silver. This issue pays tribute to one of Australia’s most iconic mining landmarks, the Kalgoorlie Super Pit, one of the largest open-cut gold mines in the world.
Located in Western Australia, the Super Pit has played a significant role in the country’s gold mining history, dating back to the 1890s gold rush era that helped establish The Perth Mint itself.
Combining historical significance with investment-grade silver purity, this coin/round is highly appealing to both bullion investors and collectors interested in Australian mining heritage. With a limited mintage of 100,000, it offers additional collectible appeal alongside its intrinsic silver value.
Reverse:
The reverse features an artistic depiction of the Super Pit, capturing the immense scale and depth of the open-cut gold mine. The design includes inscriptions “SUPER PIT AUSTRALIA,” “1oz 9999 SILVER,” along with The Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark.
Obverse:
The obverse displays the Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, along with the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “AUSTRALIA,” and the denomination “1 DOLLAR.”
Some examples may also include a micro-engraved security feature, visible under magnification, enhancing authentication and protection against counterfeiting.
