Rio Tinto accomplished selling The Australian Trilogy coin collection, within a month of its unveiling by the Premier of Western Australia, the Honourable Mark McGowan MLA. The Australian Trilogy is an AUD$1.8 million one-of-a-kind coin collection featuring a pink, purple pink and violet diamonds from Rio Tinto’s Argyle Diamond Mine in the east Kimberley region of Western Australia. It was released by The Perth Mint.

An anonymous collector from Asia bought the collection.

The Perth Mint has worked in collaboration with Mr John Glajz, an Authorised Partner of Argyle Pink Diamonds, to create a number of limited edition gold and pink diamond ingots and coins during the past five years, which have been in strong demand from investors, collectors and diamond experts.

Mr Glajz said “I am delighted with the sale of The Perth Mint’s Australian Trilogy. We have seen and continue to see, strong demand from this high end of the luxury market. The coveted Australian Trilogy speaks the language of exclusivity, desirability and collectability.” The Australian Trilogy will be exhibited at The Perth Mint until Monday 31 July 2017.
