2004 Adelaide to Darwin Five Dollar Silver Proof Coin - damaged display case

To commemorate the inauguration of the rail extension from Adelaide to Darwin the Royal Australian Mint has released a five dollar silver proof coin. This history making north - south rail link is a first for Australia, that has connected all of Australia by rail and will be a tremendous boost for the Australian economy.

The silver proof coin captures the vastness of the land with the rail lines disappearing in the distance, while linking the three major cities of Darwin, Alice Springs and Adelaide.

This coin has a limited mintage of only 12,500 worldwide and is produced from 99.9% pure silver.

It gives Australians an opportunity to mark this historic event, which will be remembered for generations to come.
