Underpinned by the RAM’s world-renowned Proof quality, the 2016 Proof Set includes six Australian legal tender coins, from the 5c to the $2.

A sensational concept, the obverse of each coin portrays the reverse design originally used for one of Australia’s predecimal coins!

Sure to appeal to predecimal and decimal collector alike, and still available at last year’s affordable Official Issue Price of just $100, this revolutionary release is presented within an official RAM case.

Six of the best! Every coin a commemorative! Affordable, original and ingeniousThe perfect way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the greatest landmark in Australian currency history – the change to decimal currency in 1966 – the Royal Australian Mint’s 2016 Mint Set is simply a must-have for every collector. For the very first time, this ever-popular annual 6-coin set features a mind-blowing six commemoratives!

An inspired idea, each of the six superbly struck Brilliant Uncirculated coins found in this collection features not one but two distinctive designs. On the reverse of each coin will be found the traditional motif for its denomination. On the obverse, however, you will find a cameo Queen Elizabeth II portrait, united with a sharply sculpted portrayal of one of the coins of the predecimal era!

A fantastic way to celebrate Australia’s original coinage, and mark the 50th anniversary of the coins chosen to replace them, each 6-coin set is housed in an official RAM pack. Still available at last year’s bargain price of $25!
