The Coin Company is proud to present Beauty, Rich & Rare – Great Daintree Rainforest 2022 $5 Silver Coloured Proof Domed Coin produced by The Royal Australian Mint

The Daintree Rainforest in Tropical North Queensland is the world’s most ancient rainforest, estimated to be 180 million years old. So impressive is the forest, Sir David Attenborough called it ‘the most remarkable place on Earth’. It covers approximately 1,200 square-kilometres.

Declared a World Heritage Listed site in 1988, the Daintree is home to a remarkably diverse population of wildlife, insects and birds, including 30 per cent of Australia’s frog, reptile and marsupial species and 90 per cent of Australia’s bat and butterfly species. Home to the Daintree River, visitors to the rainforest can spot saltwater crocodiles on a river cruise or undertake one of the many hikes to immerse themselves in the forest.

The coin’s obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II designed by Jody Clark, while the superbly-crafted reverse is certain to make the coin stand out in any collection.

Beauty, Rich & Rare – Great Daintree Rainforest 2022 $5 Silver Coloured Proof Domed Coin  has a limited mintage of 7500 coins.
