It is dusk, and the great hammerhead shark scours the sea floor for its next meal. This solitary predator is different from other sharks. The great hammerhead shark’s uniquely hammer-shaped head and sickle-shaped dorsal fin is recognized worldwide. Seeing this image in person is fascinating enough, but seeing hundreds of great hammerhead sharks migrating up the coastlines is a sight to behold. We have marveled at the sight of this oddly shaped shark for centuries. This intriguingly shaped shark is why the design of the 1/2 oz Silver Great Hammerhead Shark coin has been created by the Perth Mint.
We have received these Silver coins as an APMEXclusive® from the Perth Mint, which means you will be unable to get this beautiful design anywhere else. This exclusivity, combined with a strictly low mintage, adds an aspect of collectibility to these low premium Silver coins.
The magnificent great hammerhead shark is the largest species of hammerhead, growing up to 20 feet in length. On average they are around 11 feet long and weigh 500 pounds. They can be distinguished from other shark species by the shape of their head and the tall, curved first dorsal fin.

I purchased multiple 1/2 oz shark coins (Great White, Tiger, Hammerhead) and I was very pleased when they arrived. I set each coin in a 32 mm holder and just love they way they look. These were the first 1/2 oz rounds in my collection and there will be more added in the future.

APMEX comes through for amateur collectors like myself. We purchase US minted as a back up in the event our US paper currency fails and not so much for making a profit buying and selling. We also purchase the US minted as gifts rather than worthless gift cards putting money into our own pockets rather than the retail market.

Both of the 2015 Australia 1/2 oz. Silver Great Hammerhead Shark BU coins look like someone ground on them with a small Dremel tool or with very fine sandpaper. It's much worse than Milk Spots. The overall design of the coins is good but the quality control for these was seriously lacking.
