Aanvullende informatie

The Sydney Cove Medallion was struck in Staffordshire, England in 1789 using clay transported from the colony's brickfields — making it almost certainly the first manufactured object exported from Australian soil. Josiah Wedgwood produced the original jasperware pieces, and examples were distributed to abolitionists and politicians as a curiosity from Britain's newest possession. The Perth Mint's decision to recreate the medallion's design in high relief exploits the depth that silver proof striking can achieve in ways jasperware cannot, pressing the relief to its practical limit for a coin of this diameter.
