This exclusive 1 oz gold coin is part of the Australia at Night coin series. It features some of the most fascinating nocturnal animals of Australia. The twelfth issue in the series is dedicated to the Bottlenose Dolphin. Bottlenose dolphins are found in warm and temperate seas around the world, including around Australia. These animals weigh around 300 kg and can grow up to 4 meters in length. They can reach speeds of over 30 km/h and leap up to six meters into the air. Bottlenose dolphins are active both day and night. They have extraordinary senses such as echolocation to detect objects and electrosensation to perceive electrical fields, which helps in finding food. Their intelligence is also remarkable. Studies show that bottlenose dolphins communicate well, can classify objects and ideas, and respond to human gestures. They use tools, such as sea urchins for food gathering, and pass on knowledge. They learn quickly, a trait that has been utilized by the military for mine and diver detection.
This extraordinary gold coin is minted in the highest quality, Proof (Polished Plate), and is strictly limited to only 150 pieces worldwide. The Proof finish is particularly sought-after among collectors and is one of the most intricate minting techniques. This unique gold coin is delivered in its original mint case along with a certificate of authenticity.
The reverse side, partially platinum-plated, features a striking depiction of a mother dolphin and her calf, with the contrast between the gold and platinum finish catching the eye. A subtle full moon can be seen in the background. The lower part of the coin shows a stylized underwater scene with coral and rocks. A starfish and two small fish also appear, seemingly swimming among the coral. The nocturnal ambiance is highlighted by the exquisite black proof finish. The reverse also includes the inscription "AUSTRALIA AT NIGHT – BOTTLENOSE DOLPHIN". The obverse side of the coin displays the portrait of King Charles III, surrounded by the inscriptions "CHARLES III", "100 DOLLARS", "1oz 9999 GOLD", and the minting year "NIUE 2025".
