The Bird Of Paradise is famously associated with northeastern Queensland and the island of New Guinea, where local tribes use its beautiful plumes as currency. The Perth Mint launched the Bird of Paradise series in 2018 with the Victoria’s Riflebird. In 2019, the series continues with the Manucodia, a black bird with purple and green plumes and whose name is derived from the Javanese term “manuk dewata”. “Manuk” means bird and “dewata” means gods.
The 2019 Silver Bird of Paradise Manucodia is beautifully struck in .9999 pure silver with a limited mintage of only 50,000. Hurry and add one of these beautiful coins to your collection today!
The obverse features the portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II who is depicted wearing the Royal Diamond Diadem. Engravings include “Elizabeth II,” “Australia,” and “1 Dollar”
The reverse features the Bird of Paradise Manucodia perched on a branch in mid-call. “Australian Bird of Paradise”, “1 oz 9999 Silver”, the artist’s initials, and the Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark are also inscribed.
