In 2014 the Royal Australian Mint released a very Limited Issue Domed Shaped Southern Sky Orion $5 Five Dollar Silver Proof Coin struck in solid .999 Silver weighing one ounce of pure Silver Certified Slabbed and Graded by PCGS as PR70 DCAM.

In Greek mythology, the great hunter Orion is so large his shadow is cast over the underworld.
Similarly, the constellation bearing his name is visible from both hemispheres of the Earth.
Orion’s stars adorn the third coin in the Southern Sky series.

Orion’s position on the celestial equator makes the constellation visible from anywhere in the world.
It represents the mythological Greek hunter with some of the sky’s brightest stars.
The reverse depicts the Orion Constellation in colour while the obverse is the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank Broadley.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
