First glass coin series in the world. It features the Australian heraldic animal on a fully polished glass coin. Thanks to laser engraving technology, the animal motif has exactly 30,000 laser dots with a diameter of up to 1/1,000 mm – the finest technically possible at 1,500° in the focus of the laser at the glass melting point.
