The Perth Mint's brand-new 2014 Australian Saltwater Crocodile is a trusted, cost-effective way of adding pure silver to your portfolio. This 1 oz .999 fine silver coin has a limited mintage of 1 million coins. Designed by Natasha Muhl, it bears the image of a saltwater crocodile. The saltwater crocodile is the world's largest reptile in terms of body mass. It is an opportunistic predator capable of killing almost any animal that enters its territory. Males can reach 7 meters in length and exceed 1,000 kg in weight. Their sheer enormity makes them the most dangerous of all crocodiles. The Perth Mint, founded in 1899, is an official minting authority of Australia. Fully owned by the state government of Western Australia, the Mint enjoys an outstanding reputation for fine silver coins and bars.
