Celebrate the delicate beauty and vibrant elegance of Australia's native fauna with the Australian Opal Wings series. Produced by The Coin Company Australia, this stunning 1oz silver proof coin captures the striking colouration and graceful form of the Blue Triangle butterfly (Graphium sarpedon choredon)—one of Australia’s most recognisable native swallowtails.

The coin brilliantly marries finely detailed silver craftsmanship with the radiant, shifting colours of a custom, authentic opal inlay embedded into the butterfly's wing pattern. Struck in 99.9% fine silver to a flawless proof finish with an extremely low mintage of just 1,000 coins, it is an exquisite acquisition for collectors of wildlife numismatics, premium proof issues, and gemstone-themed coins.
