The aptly named birds of paradise are native to northeastern Australia and Papua New Guinea. Known for their dramatic, brightly coloured plumage displayed as part of a flamboyant courtship ritual, they have some of the most spectacular mating spectacles in the bird kingdom.
Bird of Paradise Design
The coin’s reverse depicts an exceptionally detailed bird of paradise holding its head high while arching its wings forward in a stunning display of its plumage. The design includes the inscription ‘AUSTRALIAN BIRD OF PARADISE 1OZ 9999 GOLD’ and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
Presentation Packaging and Numbered Certificate
The coin is housed in a classic display case with a wooden lid. Packaged within an illustrated shipper, each coin is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
