Humpback whales are large marine mammals known for dramatic breaches and long, low songs. Adults can reach about 60 feet in length and weigh many tons, yet they still rise clear of the water during feeding and social behavior.

For the obverse of the 2023 1/4 oz Gold Humpback Whale Coin, you’ll see the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. First introduced in 2015 and used on Australian coins from 2018 through 2023, this sixth-generation portrait shows Her Majesty in right-profile relief wearing the George IV State Diadem.

In the reverse design of the 2023 Australian Gold Humpback Whale, the whale is captured mid-breach as it breaks the ocean’s surface. Humpbacks complete lengthy seasonal migrations, moving thousands of miles each year between colder feeding grounds and warmer breeding areas.

Humpback numbers were once very low due to whaling but have improved under international protections. Even with this recovery, they continue to face risks from ship strikes, entanglement in fishing gear, and changing ocean conditions.

These 2023 1/4 oz Australian Gold Humpback Whale Coins ship in protective plastic flips. The coin is part of a limited Humpback Whale series from the Perth Mint, and each piece carries the Perth “P” mint mark on the reverse.
