2022 2oz 9999 SILVER
Description:
depiction of a dynamic image of two killer whales (orcas) swimming through the crisp ocean waters. The killer whale in the foreground is depicted breaching the surface of the water, while the killer whale in the background is shown with only its dorsal fin cresting the surface of the water, illustrated with motion that almost brings them to life. The design also includes a peaceful marine background. Engravings on this face of the coin identify the name of the coin "KILLER WHALE" around above and the year of issue, weight, purity, and metal content "2022 2oz 9999 SILVER" are inscribed close to the bottom rim. In the left field, The Perth Mint's traditional "P" mint mark appears and the designers initials “NH” appearing just under.
