As in 1967, the Royal Australian Mint did not issue an official Mint Set in 1968 leaving a gaping hole in the decimal series. Thankfully, our 1968 Uncirculated 5-Coin Year Set solves the problem! A vital acquisition if you are aiming to assemble a complete decimal collection in top grade, or if you are keen to fill that annoying gap in your RAM Mint Set collection, the set before you comprises an example of each coin type issued in 1968 in Uncirculated condition!

Australia 's third annual decimal coinage issue comprised the copper 1c & 2c, along with the cupro-nickel 5c, 10c & 20c with no 50c denomination issued for circulation in 1968. Not only was there no 50c coin issued for circulation in 1968 there was no official Australian Mint Set either! Whether the concept was abandoned due to the Government 's ongoing indecisiveness over the potential successor to the fatally flawed 1966 Silver Round 50c, or whether it was down to an inability to co-ordinate three mints (RAM, Melbourne & Perth) to produce a collector set, no Mint Sets were issued in 1968. With no Mint Set issued in 1967, the disappointment among collectors when the news broke in 1968 was palpable.

With no collector sets issued in this year, the coins of 1968 can only be secured from circulation, and with so many decades having passed, this is no easy task. Of course, it is simply not possible to obtain the long-gone 1c and 2c coins from change, and even if you do source the 5c, 10c or 20c, they will never be found in anything other than well circulated condition. Indeed, it is the difficulty in securing premium grade 1968 coins that makes this opportunity so important.

Available here in strictly Uncirculated condition, this sought after, extremely scarce 5-coin set is beautifully presented within an attractive, illustrated, informative pack. With only a few sets in stock, immediate action is essential. Click add to cart now!
