Niue 2023 Great Australian Desert + Kangaroos $1 1 Troy Oz Pure Silver Rose-Gold

Description: In Stock and Ready for Immediate Shipment! SOLD OUT at the Mint! A trio of adult red kangaroos begins their passage across a desolate stretch of the Great Australian Desert, while an Inland Taipan snake lurks in its rocky habitat and the sun bakes the landscape with its merciless rays. This one troy ounce pure silver proof is enhanced by artistic application of rose-gold plating. And so begins your great Australian adventure, into the unforgiving Outback! This pure silver gem is a sizzling hot testament to the wide-open spaces, forbidding landscape, and unique animal life that exist in just one place on Earth—the Great Australian Desert! This breathtaking design represents your chance to add a piece of Australia’s Outback to your collection! The Great Australian Desert is the inland region of Australia, with some serious heat and very little rain. It's HUGE—it covers more than 35% of the Land Down Under. The intense heat bakes the earth, making the very air shimmer and mirages appear. It's all otherworldly. Very little rain visits the interior. With 40% of Australia covered by dunes, it's the driest inhabited continent, with the least fertile soils. Not surprisingly, the Great Australian Desert is sparsely inhabited—Australia has a population more than 26 million people, but less than 3% (fewer than 800,000 folks) live in the vast regions of the Outback desert. Also not surprisingly, the Great Australian Desert sports the largest population of feral camels in the world! On this unique coin, pure silver kangaroos bound across the red sand expanse of the mythic Outback, as a meticulously detailed Inland Taipan snake lies in wait in the foreground, and the merciless sun radiates its rose gold rays across the horizon. Make this dramatic and striking one troy ounce pure silver proof yours today! The Great Australian Desert The Great Australian desert, or Outback, stretches across the arid interior of Australia, a varied collection of stark rock outcroppings juxtaposed with hauntingly barren red sands that lend the landscape an otherworldly aura. In fact, American astronaut Buzz Aldrin remarked that the deserts in Australia appeared similar to those where humanity may one day venture—on Mars. Otherworldly indeed! At once harsh and beautiful, this ancient land has been home to Australia’s Indigenous Aboriginal peoples for upwards of 50,000 years, as witnessed by their rock paintings and petroglyphs. The incomparable sense of space is witness to some of the most unique animals on earth, including kangaroos, wallabies, emus—as well as more dangerous inhabitants like the Inland Taipan Snake (lurking in the foreground; read on below). The Inland Taipan Snake—The Deadliest in the World! The venom of the Inland Taipan is by far the most toxic of any snake in the world, much more so than even that of sea snakes, and it has the most toxic venom of any reptile when tested on human heart cell cultures. The Inland Taipan is a specialist hunter of mammals, so its venom is specially adapted to kill warm-blooded prey. One bite possesses enough lethality to kill more than 100 adult humans. It is an extremely fast and agile snake that can strike instantly and with extreme accuracy, often biting multiple times in the same attack, with a nearly 100% rate of envenomation. Obverse A trio of adult red kangaroos begins their passage across a desolate stretch of the Great Australian Desert, while an Inland Taipan snake lurks in its rocky habitat and the sun bakes the landscape with its merciless rays. The scene is enhanced by artistic application of rose-gold plating, while the legend GREAT AUSTRALIAN DESERT indicates the theme. Reverse The public seal (coat of arms) of the island nation of Niue.
