A Tribute to the Majestic Osprey

Ospreys are among the most widespread raptors in the world, found on every continent except Antarctica. Known for their exceptional hunting skills, particularly their ability to dive for fish, these birds of prey have captivated observers for generations. The osprey's presence in this coin series highlights its important role in ecosystems worldwide and its cultural symbolism as a fierce yet graceful hunter.

The 2021 Australian Osprey Gold Coin showcases this bird in a stunning left-profile depiction on the reverse. Captured mid-dive, the osprey's powerful wings are angled for precision, and its sharp talons are extended toward an unseen prey—illustrating the intensity and agility of this avian predator.

Obverse Design by Jody Clark

The obverse of the coin features the right-profile effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Jody Clark, one of the Royal Mint’s most renowned portrait artists. Surrounding the portrait are inscriptions denoting the Queen’s name, the issuing nation of “Australia,” and the coin’s denomination of 25 Dollars.

Reverse Details & Perth Mint Craftsmanship

On the reverse, the design brings the osprey’s hunting dive to life in impressive detail. The feathers, eyes, and talons are rendered with remarkable precision, thanks to the Perth Mint’s use of advanced die polishing and high-relief striking techniques. Also included are the inscriptions “2021,” “Osprey,” and the Perth Mint’s iconic “P” mint mark, further authenticating this brilliant release.

The Perth Mint, established in 1899, is internationally celebrated for its strict quality standards and artistic coinage.
