Australia 2011 Little Aussies Mini Roo GOLD Kangaroo SILVER Koala RARE Perth Set

Description: In Stock and Ready for Immediate Shipment! Long SOLD OUT at the Perth Mint! Little Aussies Set is Pure Gold + Pure Silver! Mini Roo + Koala Mother & Baby Dime! Ultra Low Mintage but Eminently Affordable Coin Show Special! Wowsers, it's the Little Aussies Bimetal Set! Here's an ultra low mintage coin show special that unites pure gold with pure silver! But no, you don't have to pay a mint to get both these precious metals together, thanks to Talisman Coins and the Perth Mint, Australia's precious metals experts. While they last, these cute gold kangaroo and silver koala sets are extremely affordable. Best of all, they come together in one convenient, bimetal set featuring these two favorite Australian animals, beautifully depicted on the full color packaging and exquisitely minted in everyone's two favorite precious metals! But don't forget the mintage limit! Issued for the ANA World's Fair of Money in Chicago, Illinois, are only 2,000 of these show specials to go around - far too few to satisfy demand. The Magnificent Mini-Roo! The kangaroo is one of the definitive symbols of Australia, the island continent. Here's the second in this revolutionary series, with a one-year-only depiction of this herbivorous marsupial, made all the more desirable by the Mint's execution in 4 9s pure gold, artistically rendered in a reverse proof finish with frosted fields and mirrored devices. Perhaps best of all is the price! Leave it to the Perth Mint to make the luxury of a .9999 fine gold proof affordable for everyone! Koala Mother & Baby Pure Silver Dime The koala is one of the iconic symbols of Australia, made all the more desirable by the Perth Mint's execution of this cute and cuddly critter in pure silver, artistically rendered in a reverse proof finish. This year, a bright-eyed baby joey watches us from the fork of a gum or eucalyptus tree, while itself being observed by the watchful eye of the mother koala. The designer of the 2011 Koala program vignette is Elise Martinson, who is also the creator of the original artwork for both the coins and the colorful, outer boxes for the Bush Babies series. Elise is an Australian artist, graphic designer, and illustrator who loves animals. This Pure Silver Koala has a face value of 10 cents - the first everdime in the Koala series! This inexpensive, pure silver gem makes the perfect gift and represents a superb way to introduce kids (and hitherto clueless adults) to the fascinating world of coin collecting. Its desirable animal motif, its affordability, and the fact that it's struck in pure silver will further contribute to its popularity. We advise you to acquire one or more while the opportunity lasts! Investment Opportunity! Love pure gold? (Who doesn't, duh.) Love pure silver? (Ditto.) Okay then, what about both together? Oh, and throw in an extraordinarily affordable price and a tiny mintage limit, and you have an equation for low-cost, low-risk success! Pure Gold Mini Roo + Pure Silver Dime + Ultra Low Mintage = WINNER! With a total mintage limit of only 2,000, we do not expect these unique, bimetal sets to last!
