2013 "The Land Down Under" LE Australian Didgeridoo Silver Dollar Coin. Produced by The Perth Mint Australia.
The iconic didgeridoo is the second coin to be released from The Land Down Under coin series. The coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.9% silver in proof quality. Issued as Australian legal tender, the coin’s obverse depicts the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the year-date and the monetary denomination. The coin’s reverse depicts a colourful outback scene of mountains and a sunset, with an Australian playing the didgeridoo, framed within a map shape of Australia.  The inscription THE LAND DOWN UNDER and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark are also incorporated in the design. 
Australia is a continent rich in history, cultural diversity and unique habitats. The Perth Mint is proud to present this new series showcasing Australia’s discovery, culture, lifestyle and landmarks. The didgeridoo is a long, wooden wind instrument made from a hollow branch that has been traditionally used by the Aboriginal people of northern Australia.  The haunting tones are created by the vibrating of the player's lips.  Since every branch has its own unique shape, no two didgeridoos sound exactly alike.  The composition it creates can be very powerful, with players and listeners often describing it as calming and meditative.
The coin is housed in a unique Australian map shaped latex case with a stylised shipper, and is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity. See photos for details.
