Winter, in the southern hemisphere takes place in the months of June, July and August bringing much-needed rain, cooler temperatures and renewed growth.

This coin is the third in an 'Australian Seasons' 4-coin series. The reverse design depicts an Australian Green Tree Frog on a branch against a background of the winter night sky and rain.

3,300 coins were issued each housed encapsulated and mounted in a see-both-sides presentation case accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity and protected by an illustrated cardboard shipper.
