2013 Australia 1-oz Silver Land Down Under Surfing Proof

2013 Australia 1-oz Silver Land Down Under Surfing Proof

 Product Description:

Silver Surfer Spotted Down Under

He's not the Marvel Comics superhero, but rather your average Australian 'surfer dude.' He's seen here on this 2013 Australia Surfing Proof Silver Dollar. Surfing was first documented by James King, a lieutenant on Captain Cook's first voyage. He described Polynesians surfing in 1779! Australia is, of course, completely surrounded by water, and that means thousands of miles of pristine beaches and crashing waves. It's no wonder surfing is one of the continent's most popular sports. The proof shows a surfer in front of a beach in the shape of Australia. It's one ounce (31.135 grams) of 99.9% silver. Each comes in mint packaging with an official certificate of authenticity. Only 5,000 were minted.
