Mythical creature

The unicorn is an enchanted creature that has existed in legend since antiquity. As tales and speculation grew about the elusive creature, it was believed that the unicorn’s ability to pass between worlds meant it was impossible to catch. Its most notable feature became a topic of special interest - those drinking from its horn, it was said, would be immune to disease and poison. Enjoying renewed levels of interest in modern pop culture, the unicorn is a potent symbol of magic and miracles.

Unicorn design

Represented in classical form as a white horse with a single, spiralling horn on its forehead, the unicorn on the coin’s reverse is shown rearing on a mystical moonlit night. As well as the inscription MYTHICAL CREATURES UNICORN, the design incorporates The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
