Welcoming a baby into the world is a time for joy and celebration. The Perth Mint released the 2014 Newborn Baby coin in a stunning gift card to make the perfect gift for this special occasion. This coin is issued on a mint-to-order basis with the mintage numbers only available after the year is over.

The obverse features the Ian-Rank Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II and the words "Elizabeth II Australia 1/2 oz 999 Silver 2014 50 Cents" and the artist's initials.

The reverse features a depiction of the stork by Aleysha Howarth with an Australian twist. For centuries in Western Folklore parents have been telling their children that babies are delivered by a stork. As an Australian take on the legend the artist has used a cute coloured Kookaburra instead carrying a sleeping newborn in a swaddling cloth. A depiction of Australian vegetation and the words "Congratulations On Your Baby" and the Perth Mint's "P" mint mark complete the design.

The 2014 Newborn Baby coin is encased in an elaborate Australia themed gift card that includes room for a photograph, the babies details and a family tree. This coin makes the perfect gift for anyone born in 2014.

ABOUT THE PERTH MINT

The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint's 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
