DISCOVERY
Description:
Coin's reverse features a sailing ship alongside a small rowboat ferrying hopeful diggers ashore, while a 19th century prospector pans for Gold in front of miners’ tents. Adjacent is a vista of where pink diamonds were found. The Kimberley region is depicted by an iconic boab tree and kangaroos, with a brilliant Argyle Pink Diamond representing the tropical sun. With the first glimpse of one of these rare pink prizes reportedly glinting from the soil of an anthill, the adjoining scene portrays a worker ant on a mound of earth with an Argyle Pink Diamond clasped between its mandibles.
