This is part of the "Australia's Most Dangerous" themed silver pieces from the Royal Australian Mint. With a mintage of 25K, it's decently available enough to meet demand, with the caveat that this is likely to be a very popular coin, particularly for the young collector. Thanks to shows like the Discovery Channel's "Shark Week," sharks enjoy enduring popularity as the poster child for nature's most feared predators.
Of course, even the Discovery Channels' show can't match the popularity of the pop culture crowning moment for great white sharks, which is the classic Stephen Spielberg film "Jaws" (1975). Not only did this movie shoot Spielberg to lifelong fame, it established the standard for summer blockbuster films. With a surprisingly detailed story and memorable performances which spawned many meme-worthy lines, "Jaws" goes down in history as one of the most definitive horror movies ever made. Just looking at this coin, you can hear the ominous theme music.
Beautifully rendered with dynamic proof finishes on the reverse and a portrait of the Queen Mum on the obverse, designed by artist Jody Clark, this piece is a memorable addition to your collection. Parents, if you want to get your kids interested in coin collecting or nature science, this is an ideal start.
