The Southern Right Whale got its name from early whalers who believed it was the “right” whale to pursue—it often moves slowly near shore, tends to float after death, and was valued for its oil and baleen. These large whales can grow to about 18 meters in length and weigh roughly 80 tonnes. They’re recognized by a thick, dark body, the lack of a dorsal fin, and rough white callosities on the head that create individual patterns similar to fingerprints.

The obverse of the 2025 Australian Southern Right Whale Silver Coin shows a portrait of King Charles III. This left-profile effigy was created for Australia’s coinage by Dan Thorne, and it presents His Majesty without a crown.

On the reverse of 2025 2 oz Southern Right Whale Silver Coins, you’ll see a whale diving beneath the ocean’s surface with its tail lifted above the waterline. Southern Right Whales are known for being curious and active at the surface, sometimes swimming near boats and putting on a show with behaviors like breaching, tail slapping, and “sailing” by holding their flukes up to catch the wind.
