The first issue of the new Series Beauty, Rich & Rare was struck by the Royal Australian Mint from one ounce of 99.99% pure gold in proof quality and is dedicated to the Great Barrier Reef. The convex side of the domed coin features a partially colored depiction of the maritime natural wonder. A colorful school of fish stretching across the motive is surrounded by other inhabitants of the coral reef. The inscriptions "GREAT BARRIER REEF", "2022 BEAUTY, RICH & RARE" and the denomination "$100" complete the design. The domed shape of the Gold coin adds depth to the design, creating a particularly realistic effect. The reverse shows another depiction of the reef, the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II as well as the weight, the fineness and the inscription "AUSTRALIA".
Covering a length of over 2000 kilometers and an area of 347,000 square kilometers, the Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef ecosystem on Earth. The famous landmark of the Red Continent is located along the northeast coast of Australia and is composed of nearly 3,000 individual reefs. Due to its impressive size, it is visible to the naked eye from space. The fragile ecosystem is home to about 1,600 species of fish, 1,500 species of sponges, 5,000 species of mollusks, 800 species of starfish and echinoderms, 500 species of kelp and more than 200 species of birds. The Great Barrier Reef also provides a habitat for rare species of whales, dolphins and turtles. UNESCO declared the species-rich reef system a World Heritage Site on October 26, 1981. As the continued existence of the largest reef structure created by living creatures is severely threatened by various factors - including tourism, water pollution and climatic changes - the Australian government has initiated measures to protect the Great Barrier Reef - also to prevent it from being classified by UNESCO as an "endangered world heritage site." Environmentalists agree, however, that the aid packages are coming too late and that the condition of the reef system will deteriorate dramatically in the coming decades.
Limited to 750 pieces worldwide, the Beauty, Rich & Rare - Great Barrier Reef gold coin in color is delivered in the original box including a numbered certificate of authenticity from the Royal Australian Mint.
