5 troy ounce silver coin Daintree Rainforest 2022

The 5 ounce silver coin was issued on the occasion of the World Money Fair 2022 in Berlin and is dedicated to the Daintree Rainforest - the oldest tropical rainforest on Earth. The Daintree Rainforest is located in northeastern Australia in the state of Queensland and occupies only a very small part of Australia's total area - yet it is home to about 30 percent of all mammal species, 65 percent of all butterfly and bat species and 20 percent of the bird species in all of Australia.

In the foreground, the motif shows some animals and plants from the Daintree Rainforest, representative of the enormously diverse flora and fauna. In the background, the greenery and the play of light and shadow of the rainforest are reproduced in color, making it seem as if you are right in the middle of it. The inscriptions "DAINTREE" and "WORLD'S OLDEST RAINFOREST" are also incorporated into the design.

The reverse of the coin features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, as well as weight, fineness, denomination and year of issue. A special feature of this coin is the individual numbering, which is debossed on the edge and corresponds to the numbering of the certificate. The 5 ounce Daintree Rainforest Silver Resistant Coin is strictly limited to only 500 pieces worldwide and comes in its original wooden case including a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
