Struck from 2oz of 99.99% pure silver, this coin commemorates the 2023 total solar eclipse over the tourist town of Exmouth and the nearby World Heritage listed Ningaloo Reef on Western Australia’s north-west coast. On 20 April 2023, residents and visitors from all over the world will gather in Exmouth, to experience a total solar eclipse. The only town within the line of ‘totality’, Exmouth and nearby Ningaloo Reef will be plunged into eerie darkness for over a minute as the silhouette of the Moon obscures the Sun.

Also included in the design is The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark. Marking this unique moment in time, the edge of the coin bears the inscription ‘NINGALOO ECLIPSE • 20 APRIL 2023 • 11:27AM’.
