Behold humanity's timeless quest captured in the 2002 $10 Evolution of Time silver antiqued coin from the Perth Mint. This monumental 10oz piece traces the evolution of timekeeping from sundials to atomic clocks and bears the incredibly low certificate number 15 out of 3,000.

Highlights:

  • Antiqued finish, 99.9% pure silver
  • 2002 Evolution Companion Series
  • Numbered Certificate of Authenticity (No. 15)
  • Limited mintage of 1,500

Product overview

Humanity's fascination with measuring time spans millennia—from ancient sundials and water clocks to astrolabes, hourglasses, pendulums, and modern atomic precision.

This second coin in The Perth Mint's five-year Evolution companion series masterfully depicts this progression, encircling a central Kookaburra that symbolises Australia's place in scientific advancement.

Struck in 99.9% pure silver weighing 311g (10 troy oz ASW) and measuring an impressive 75.5mm diameter, the obverse bears Queen Elizabeth II's Ian Rank-Broadley effigy.

Presented in original Perth Mint packaging, with a maximum mintage of 1,500 and certificate number 15, it commands a premium among collectors.

Condition terms explained

We use a simple, consistent set of terms on each product page so you know exactly what to expect when your order arrives. These descriptions focus on honest visual inspection rather than formal grading.
Coin terms
  • Mint - The coin is in Mint, uncirculated condition, with no visible marks to the naked eye under standard lighting. It is supplied in its original capsule or protective packaging, as applicable.
  • Mint (Minor milk spots) - The coin is in Mint, uncirculated condition, but there are small, cloudy white spots on the surface, likely from the minting or planchetting process, a common feature of modern bullion and proof issues. These spots are cosmetic only and do not affect the coin’s metal content, purity, or authenticity.
  • Mint (Light toning) - The coin is in Mint, uncirculated condition, but shows light natural colour changes on the surface, such as pale gold, blue, or rainbow hues from normal ageing and storage. Many collectors view this gentle toning as part of the coin’s character rather than a defect, and it does not affect purity or authenticity.
Presentation case and outer box terms
  • Excellent - The presentation case, or outer box, is in immaculate condition, with only minimal signs of handling or storage, and is suitable for gifting or display.
  • Light scuffs - There are light, surface-level rub marks or slight colour wear from normal handling or sliding against other surfaces. The material is not deeply scratched or broken, and the case or box structure is unaffected.
  • Corner dings - One or more corners show small but clear indentations where the case or box has been knocked. The corner is slightly flattened or recessed, but the item remains fully functional and protective.
  • Minor creases - There are visible fold lines in the cardboard or paperboard where it has been bent, often appearing as a straight line on a lid or edge. These creases are cosmetic only and do not affect the box's ability to open, close, or protect the coin.
  • Age-related discolouration/foxing - The surface shows patchy, often whitish, yellowish, or grey areas that develop over time due to age, humidity, or breakdown of the covering material. This is common on older or velour-style cases and shippers and is cosmetic only; it does not affect the coin inside.
