Penguins are cute and, as a result, popular. The Fairy Penguin is the smallest and cutest penguin in the world and, as a result, super-popular! The latest in the Australia at Night program features these diminutive, nocturnal penguins waddling ashore under a huge, full supermoon, struck in. One troy ounce of pure silver, with a proprietary black treatment to simulate its nighttime habitat! Let’s face it, penguins are cute, but none are cuter than the diminutive Fairy Penguin. Appropriately called the “little penguin”, the fairy penguin is the smallest penguin species in the world, and the only one with blue and white feathers! Venturing onto land only at night, the fairy penguin is truly nocturnal, and a perfect choice for this latest entry in the wildly popular Australia at Night wildlife program. On Phillip Island in Victoria, Australia, fairy penguins come ashore only after sunset. The popular nighttime “Penguin Parade” has been captured on this gorgeous pure silver coin with velvety black proof finish, while the silvery glow of the full moon over the water illuminates this magical scene. In equal parts rare, alluring, and superbly struck, this beauty is limited to a mintage of just 1,000. Like previous entries in the Australia at Night program, the Fairy Penguin Black Proof is destined to sell out. Most birds spend their time aloft, winging their way and riding the breezes, like the bald eagle. Others are more at home on land, like the flightless ostrich and kiwi. And then there are the birds that are truly aquatic, the penguins. Fairy penguins spend the majority of their time at sea. They are genuinely nocturnal, coming ashore only at night. They nest along the southern coast of Australia and New Zealand. Phillip Island in Victoria hosts Australia’s largest colony, with over 30,000 breeding penguins found on the Summerland Peninsula. When the sun goes down and the moon rises, tourists gather to witness these magical creatures waddle along the beach in the celebrated “penguin parade”. This pure silver black proof celebrates one of Australia’s most beloved natives, the Fairy Penguin, the smallest member of the penguin family. The Fairy Penguins stand a diminutive 12 inches (33 cm) tall and weighs just 2 pounds (1 kg). Make this precious metals beauty yours before it sells out! A trio of super cute Fairy Penguins waddle ashore under the light of a full moon onto an Aussie beach. The scene sports a proprietary black treatment to simulate the nighttime. The legends AUSTRALIA AT NIGHT and FAIRY PENGUIN denote the theme. His Majesty, King Charles III, in profile effigy facing left. This portrait was executed by the engraver Jody Clark. The legend CHARLES III, the date of issue and denomination also appear, while the legend 1 OZ 999 SILVER guarantees the weight and purity. The coin is encapsulated inside a luxurious clamshell-style presentation case, lined with black velvet and satin, and protected by a full color outer cardboard box. An individually-numbered certificate of authenticity is included. Image of the back side of the certificate is mint-supplied and for general reference only.

Although it is completely self-governing and independent, it remains in free association with New Zealand, a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations, hence the portrait of the British monarch on most of its coinage. The country is located about 1,450 miles northeast of New Zealand. It is closest to Samoa, Tonga, and the Cook Islands. It is one of the largest coral islands in the world, with a total area of 260 square kilometers. Niueans are predominantly Polynesian; most are bilingual, speaking both Niuean and English.
