Our extraordinary planet, the Earth, is a beautiful pale blue planet shimmering in space. As the only planet in the universe currently known to harbour life, the Earth is at once fragile and wonderfully resilient.
The first in the series The Earth and Beyond, this coin is a shining memento or gift for lovers of science, nature and the fragile beauty of our planet.
Earth formed over 4.5 billion years ago and revolves around the Sun in 365.26 days, a period known as an Earth year. During this time, Earth rotates its axis about 366.26 times, producing seasons. 71% of the Earth's surface is covered with water. Earth is the only planet on which water can exist in liquid form on the surface.
Celebrating the third planet from the Sun, for the first time the Royal Australian Mint has applied colour on the convex surface of a coin.
