Discovered during the 1890s, the Golden Mile near Kalgoorlie in Western Australia was once said to be the richest square mile of gold reserves in the world. Most of its original workings were swallowed up during the 20th century with the creation of an enormous open pit that continues to produce remarkable quantities of gold.

The coin portrays a view from deep within the mine. Intricate detailing highlights the pit’s stepped slopes and the roadways used by haul trucks. As well as the inscription ‘SUPER PIT AUSTRALIA 2024 1oz 9999 SILVER’, the reverse also incorporates a ‘P125’ mintmark signifying The Perth Mint’s 125^th anniversary.
