Australia 2008 $2 Silver Proof Coin - Royal Australian Mint - Ian Rank-Broadley Queen Elizabeth II Obverse - Aboriginal Elder with Southern Cross Reverse - Gem Proof Condition

Silver proof. Gem Proof condition. In clear acrylic capsule. No outer box visible.



Description

A 2008 Royal Australian Mint $2 silver proof coin in gem proof condition. The obverse carries the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait of Queen Elizabeth II (the fourth decimal portrait used on Australian coinage, identifiable by the initials "IRB" below the bust) with the legend "ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 2008." The reverse features the iconic Horst Hahne design: an Aboriginal elder in profile with the Southern Cross constellation of five stars and the denomination "2 DOLLARS."



The coin presents in gem proof condition with deep mirror fields and frosted cameo relief. The white-silver appearance confirms this is a fine silver (vendor advises .999 fine silver composition) issue rather than the aluminium-bronze circulating type. No visible marks, toning, or blemishes apparent.



The coin is housed in a clear acrylic capsule. No outer case or certificate of authenticity is visible in the photographs - prospective buyers should inquire about the presence of these prior to bidding if important.
