The 2019 Bottlenose Dolphin silver coin is a 1.5 troy ounce issue struck by The Perth Mint in .999 fine silver, produced as part of Australia's broader marine wildlife coin series. It carries legal tender status under Australian law and is issued with a face value denomination, though its market value is determined by silver content and collector demand rather than its nominal face value. The coin is finished in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, reflecting the precision and quality standards for which The Perth Mint is internationally recognized.
We carry this coin as a distinctive mid-weight silver piece that occupies an interesting space between standard one-ounce bullion coins and larger format collector issues. The 1.5 oz format sets it apart from the typical sovereign coin lineup while still offering a clearly defined weight and purity that makes it straightforward to evaluate.

The 1.5 oz format sets it apart from the typical sovereign coin lineup while still offering a clearly defined weight and purity that makes it straightforward to evaluate.
The Perth Mint is one of the world's oldest and most respected minting institutions, established in 1899 as part of the British Royal Mint's Australian branch network. Originally created to process gold from the Western Australian gold rush, it has since evolved into a premier global producer of bullion and collector coins, operating independently under the Gold Corporation and the Government of Western Australia.
Australia's marine and wildlife-themed coin programs have been a consistent part of The Perth Mint's numismatic catalog for decades. These programs draw on Australia's biodiversity to produce coins that blend bullion substance with genuine artistic merit. The Bottlenose Dolphin coin, released in 2019, fits within this tradition, showcasing a species native to Australian coastal waters as the central design subject. The 1.5 oz weight was chosen to give the design more visual real estate than a standard one-ounce coin allows, a deliberate decision that reinforces the collector orientation of this particular release.
The reverse of the coin features a highly detailed engraving of a bottlenose dolphin in motion, capturing the animal's characteristic streamlined form against a textured ocean backdrop. The composition reflects the refined die-cutting capabilities The Perth Mint applies to its wildlife series, where natural subjects are rendered with a level of anatomical precision that distinguishes these coins from more generic bullion designs. The weight, purity, and year of issue are incorporated into the reverse field as part of the overall design layout.
The obverse bears the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, the standard portrait used on Australian legal tender coins during this period. The portrait is accompanied by the issuing country, face value, and identifying inscriptions consistent with Australian coinage standards. The Brilliant Uncirculated finish gives both surfaces a clean, lustrous appearance with sharp relief across the design elements, making condition preservation an important part of handling and storage.
Every coin in this series is struck by The Perth Mint to a purity of .999 fine silver and a stated weight of 1.5 troy ounces, with both specifications stamped directly into the coin's reverse field. The Perth Mint has maintained ISO 9001 certification and operates under one of the most rigorous quality management systems in the global minting industry, making it a benchmark for consistency and precision across its bullion and collector coin programs.
We verify the authenticity, weight, and purity of the products we carry, and our authorized dealer relationships with both PCGS and NGC provide additional assurance for customers who require third-party grading or certification services. The Perth Mint's global reputation adds a meaningful layer of authenticity assurance to this particular coin, as counterfeiting a properly struck Perth Mint product is significantly more difficult than duplicating generic privately minted rounds.
This coin is offered in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, meaning it has never been placed into circulation and retains its original mint luster and strike sharpness. BU coins are handled with care throughout the minting and distribution process to preserve the integrity of the finish, though they are not examined and encapsulated to the same standard as professionally graded coins. Minor handling marks or surface contact from the minting and packaging process can occasionally be present and are considered normal for coins in this condition grade.
Individual coins ship in a protective plastic flip to prevent contact damage during transit. The standard tube configuration for Perth Mint coins of this size typically holds a smaller quantity than a standard one-ounce issue due to the coin's larger diameter and weight, and larger quantity orders are typically packaged in sealed mint tubes. If you are ordering multiple coins, expect tube packaging consistent with The Perth Mint's standard distribution format for this series. When in doubt, contact us directly to confirm current packaging details before placing a large order.
Pricing for this coin is based on the live spot price of silver at the time of purchase, with a premium added above spot to account for the coin's production costs, Perth Mint branding, and collector appeal. The 1.5 oz format does carry a somewhat higher per-ounce premium than standard one-ounce sovereign coins due to its lower production volume and the elevated collector interest associated with the wildlife series designation.
Premiums on numismatically oriented bullion coins like this one tend to be more stable than those on generic rounds, but they can shift based on secondary market demand, silver spot price movement, and the availability of remaining mint inventory. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions without unnecessary complexity, and the bid/ask spread displayed on our product page gives you a transparent view of both the acquisition cost and the current resale value at any given moment.
The 2019 Bottlenose Dolphin is a recognized Perth Mint issue with clearly defined weight and purity, which supports its tradability in the secondary market. Coins from The Perth Mint's wildlife series maintain consistent recognition among both bullion dealers and numismatic buyers globally, which contributes to their resale accessibility compared to lesser-known private mint issues.
We operate a two-way market where customers can both purchase and sell precious metals within the same platform. Liquidity considerations are worth evaluating before any purchase, not only at the point of sale, and our competitive buyback pricing is structured to reflect current wholesale market conditions. The coin's government-backed issuance and Perth Mint provenance support its acceptance across a broad range of dealer and collector buyback channels beyond our own platform.
This coin appeals to buyers who want more than a standard one-ounce bullion piece without crossing fully into the territory of premium numismatic coins. The 1.5 oz weight gives it a tangible physical presence, and the Bottlenose Dolphin design is one of the more visually compelling subjects in The Perth Mint's wildlife catalog. It combines .999 fine silver content with government-backed legal tender status and a design format that resonates with collectors who follow Australia's wildlife coin programs.
For buyers who track The Perth Mint's annual releases, this coin represents a specific year of issue with a distinct design, adding a time-stamped collectibility that generic rounds and bars do not offer. Its format also makes it a practical gift or display piece without sacrificing the fundamental silver content that anchors its intrinsic value.
We have built our platform around transparency, pricing integrity, and a straightforward buying and selling experience. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in San Diego, we have grown into a nationally recognized precious metals marketplace by prioritizing long-term customer trust over short-term transaction volume. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau, membership in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association, and authorized dealer status with both PCGS and NGC reflect the standards we hold ourselves to across every product we carry.
Our two-way market model means you can buy and sell within the same ecosystem using competitive, real-time pricing on both sides of the transaction. We support the full range of payment options, ship with reliable fulfillment practices, and back every transaction with knowledgeable customer service. Our goal is to give you the information and pricing clarity to make a confident decision, not to pressure you into a purchase you have not fully evaluated.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across our precious metals catalog, including coins like the 2019 Bottlenose Dolphin. Rather than working from static retail price sheets, Pro members transact at prices that reflect real-time supply and demand within the wholesale market, with no additional dealer markups applied on top of wholesale pricing. For a coin like this, where the premium above spot reflects both its silver content and its collector status, having visibility into live wholesale pricing provides a meaningfully more complete picture of what you are actually paying relative to market conditions.
Beyond pricing, Pro members benefit from real-time portfolio valuation using current wholesale bid prices, proprietary market intelligence tools, and product research capabilities that allow premiums, bid/ask spreads, and liquidity characteristics to be evaluated objectively. These tools are particularly useful when comparing Perth Mint wildlife series coins across different years and formats, where premiums and market depth can vary more than they do on standard sovereign bullion issues.
We support a broad range of payment methods to make your purchase as convenient and secure as possible. Accepted options include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, and cryptocurrency payments processed through BitPay. Each method is integrated into a secure transaction environment designed to protect your information and simplify the checkout process from selection through fulfillment.
