Humpback whales are large marine mammals best known for their dramatic breaching displays and the detailed songs they produce in the wild. These animals can grow to lengths of nearly 60 feet and reach weights of up to 40 tons. Even with their massive size, humpback whales are agile swimmers capable of launching their bodies out of the water before crashing back into the sea. This powerful behavior is one of the reasons they are so widely admired. Right now, 2023 2 oz Australian Humpback Whale Silver Coins are available from BullionMax.

Humpback whales are widely studied for their long-distance migration patterns and social habits. Each year, they can travel as far as 16,000 miles while moving between cold polar feeding areas and warmer tropical waters used for breeding. During mating season, males are known for their long, structured songs that can last up to 20 minutes. These vocal patterns are not fixed and can slowly change over time within a population.

The obverse of the 2023 Australian Humpback Whale Silver Coin displays the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. This portrait was introduced in 2015 and became the sixth-generation likeness of the Queen used on Australian coinage from 2018 through 2023. Shown in right-profile relief, Her Majesty wears the George IV State Diadem, a design element commonly seen on modern Commonwealth coins.

On the reverse of the 2023 2 oz Australian Humpback Whale Silver Coin, a humpback whale is shown breaching above the surface of the ocean. This imagery highlights the strength and grace of the species, which is known for completing some of the longest migrations of any mammal. These journeys take humpbacks from nutrient-rich polar waters where they feed to warmer regions that support breeding and calving.
