The antique finish coin in color was struck from 2 ounces of 99.99% pure silver and is titled Turtle Yaunati. At the heart of the release are Australia’s turtles, which have long held special symbolic significance in the cultures of many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The motive in color depicts several turtles in a detailed composition by artist Chern'ee Sutton, a contemporary Aboriginal artist. The animals are surrounded by characteristic elements of Indigenous art, including dots, circles and flowing lines that evoke water, movement and the turtles’ natural habitat. At the same time, the design alludes to their journeys through the sea, their return to the place of their birth and the cycle of life carried on from generation to generation. In Indigenous Australian cultures, turtles are often associated with creation stories, wisdom, longevity and the close connection between land and sea. The design is completed by The Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark and the 2026 year of issue. The reverse shows the Dan Thorne effigy of King Charles III, as well as the weight, fineness and monetary denomination. The 2 Oz Turtle Yaunati antique finish silver coin in color is delivered in the original box, accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity from The Perth Mint.
