The humpback whale is shown in gold and silver on the second release in the Royal Australian Mint Antarctic Territory series. Today, humpback whales are frequently seen off the coasts of eastern and western Australia and in oceans worldwide.

Since 1963, humpback whales have been protected in Southern Hemisphere waters, including Australia's. A few years later, the global decline in humpback whale populations was acknowledged, and the whaling industry was given international protection for these whales. Small schooling fish and krill are their primary food sources. The intricate song that male humpback whales produce lasts an average of over half an hour. Humpbacks frequently breach out of the water and land on their backs, making them popular with whale watchers.

This silver coin has a limited mintage and features the humpback whale in a stunning Brilliant Uncirculated finish. The 2023 1 oz Royal Australian Mint Humpback Whale Silver Coin invites you to explore the wonderful world under the seas. Purchase your piece of the oceanic beast now!
