These ancient creatures have been gliding through the ocean for millions of years, becoming an important symbol of Australia’s diverse marine life.

The Great Barrier Reef, a UNESCO World Heritage site along Australia’s northeastern coast, provides a vital habitat for sea turtles. Its warm, shallow waters and plentiful seagrass beds are perfect for turtles to feed, rest, and nest. The reef holds one of the world’s largest populations of green turtles, with over 60,000 individuals estimated to reside there.

Each 2022 1/4 oz Australian Gold Sea Turtle Coin is shipped in a protective plastic flip. These coins showcase a unique sea turtle design, which, while not part of a long-running series, aligns with the Perth Mint’s tradition of highlighting native Australian wildlife through its bullion coins.

The obverse of the 2022 Australian Gold Sea Turtle Coin features the sixth-generation bust of Queen Elizabeth II. Created in 2015 by Jody Clark for The Royal Mint, this portrait has been used on Australian coins since 2018. It shows the Queen at age 89, wearing the George IV State Diadem Crown.

On the reverse of the 2022 1/4 oz Gold Sea Turtle Coin, there’s a beautiful right-profile relief of a sea turtle swimming. Sea turtles play a critical role in maintaining Australia’s coastal and marine ecosystems. As hatchlings, they serve as food for various predators, and as adults, their feeding habits help keep seagrass and algae in check, supporting healthy ocean habitats.
