2006 Figures of Notes Five 1oz Silver Proof Coin Set

Forty years ago, on the 14th February 1966, Australia introduced decimal notes and coins, marking the end of its British-style currency system based on pounds, shillings and pence. To celebrate the anniversary of decimalisation in Australia, The Perth Mint has released five 1oz silver proof coins featuring designs inspired by the historic figures represented on Australia's original decimal currency notes. The coloured reverse of each coin depicts historic figures as they were depicted on decimal currency notes issued between 1966 and 1974.Each 2006-dated coin is struck from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver in proof quality. The coins have a very limited mintage of only 2,500 and is accompanied by a Numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
