2 oz Silver Surfboard 2020 – the surfboard-shaped rarity from the Perth Mint

• Strictly limited: very low mintage of just 2,500 pieces worldwide
• Growth opportunities: high appreciation potential due to strict limitation and continued strong demand among collectors
• Sought-after collector's coin and rarity for lovers of unusual, uniquely shaped mintages
• Design: colorized wave motif on an Australian coastline at dusk – the coin itself is shaped like an actual surfboard
• Manufacturer: Perth Mint, one of the most renowned mints in the world
• Country of origin: Australia

Hardly any collector's coin stands out as much as this fine silver surfboard. Instead of the classic round shape, this issue comes in the unmistakable silhouette of a surfboard – a genuine eye-catcher that instantly evokes the feeling of summer, ocean, and Australian lifestyle. With this 2020 mintage, the Perth Mint created the world's first surfboard-shaped coin as official legal tender. It is precisely this combination of being a first-of-its-kind piece and a very low mintage that makes it a sought-after rarity.

A design like the perfect wave

The reverse features a vividly colorized image: a breaking wave rolls toward an Australian coastline, while a warm sunset bathes the scene in golden light in the background. The design captures the dynamism of the ocean and appears especially vivid on the elongated, board-shaped coin. Fine color gradients from deep turquoise to sunny yellow give the motif depth – a small work of art made of silver that is a pleasure to look at again and again.

The obverse of the coin bears the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II – the effigy design by Jody Clark. Stylized wave patterns run around the edge, complemented by details of the country, the year of issue 2020, the fineness, and the face value of 2 dollars. This makes it immediately recognizable as an official issue minted in Australia.

A rarity with a mintage of just 2,500 pieces

Only 2,500 pieces were minted worldwide. This strict limitation is the reason why the surfboard-shaped silver coin is so highly sought after among collectors: where supply is scarce from the outset and demand remains high, a noticeable appreciation potential arises. For lovers of unusual shapes and for anyone wishing to add an extraordinary themed piece to their collection, this rarity is a genuine recommendation.

The first surfboard-shaped coin to be issued as official legal tender – limited to just 2,500 pieces, making it a collector's item with true rarity value.

Why this silver coin shouldn't be missing from any collection

As a precious-metal collector's item, the surfboard combines several advantages at once: the material value of two ounces of pure silver coin fine silver, the artistic colorization, and that extraordinary shape that sets it apart from nearly all other issues. Anyone looking to round out their portfolio with classic investment pieces will find a broad range of products with us, spanning everything from themed coins to proven investment classics. Physical precious metal has always been regarded as a solid building block for preserving value – though with this piece, the pure joy of collecting clearly takes center stage.
