AUSTRALIA 2016
400th ANNIVERSARY OF DIRK HARTOG'S AUSTRALIAN LANDING IN 1616
The Perth Mint has issued this High-Relief Proof Silver Coin in 2016 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Dirk Hartog’s landing in Australia in 1616. Hartog’s arrival here was the first documented European landing in Australia. On his departure he left a pewter plate inscribed with a record of his visit, nailed to a post in a rock cleft on the northernmost end of the cape, now known as the Cape Inscription Area. The plate is the oldest known record of Western Australian history and is now preserved in a museum in Amsterdam.

The coin’s
reverse
depicts a representation of the view through a telescope of Dirk Hartog’s boat, the Eendracht, sailing across the ocean alongside a compass rose.  The design includes the inscription DIRK HARTOG FIRST LANDING OCTOBER 1616, a map of Australia, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark. The coin’s
high relief reverse and obverse are minted on concave surfaces
to ensure the optimum flow of metal is achieved by the strike of the die.
The
obverse
features Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. The silver content is 1 troy ounce with the coin struck in High-Relief to proof quality. The coin is presented in a
prestigious display case
within an illustrated outer box, as shown on the pictures
