The 2 oz Silver Abacus 2019 is one of the most unusual collector's coins of recent years. At the centre of the coin sits a real, movable abacus – a mechanical calculating tool with freely sliding, golden-shimmering beads. This concept makes the piece a true eye-catcher within the Perth Mint's "Uniquely Shaped" series and at the same time a highly sought-after rarity.

A design like a journey along the Silk Road

The abacus is considered the first known portable calculating device and is closely associated with the history of the Silk Road. Merchants used it to record purchases and sales along the approximately 64,000-kilometre-long trade route that once connected China with the Middle East and Europe. Fittingly, the coin's design depicts travellers leading camels along the route. In the foreground, typical trade goods are lined up: pottery, textiles, fruit, paper, fragrances and spices. The Antique Finish gives each piece a slightly individual, antiquated-looking surface – no two pieces are exactly alike.

High-quality fine silver and premium minting quality

The coin was minted from two ounces of silver with a fineness of 999.9 and has a gross weight of 62.2 grams. With a diameter of 45.50 mm and a reeded edge design, it has a powerful and premium feel. The obverse bears the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II as well as details of the face value, material and year of issue. The combination of matte fine silver and the gold-coloured accented centre underscores the special character of this premium coin.
