2022 Crux: The Southern Cross Limited-Edition Coloured Coin Prestige PNC

Crux is a constellation of the southern sky, crux being the Latin word for “cross”. Commonly known as the Southern Cross, the constellation is centred on four bright stars forming the shape of a cross, together with a fifth, faint star usually included in Crux.

This unique postal numismatic cover beautifully presents the coloured “X” coin from the Great Aussie Coin Hunt 3 series as issued in 2022. The “X” coin is for Crux. A standard version of the “X” coin was made available with the other 25 alphabet coins, however there was a different coloured version of the “X” coin produced in limited numbers. This coin is offered here in this prestige Postal Numismatic Cover.
