A crucial issue in the history of Australian decimal currency, we are delighted to present the Royal Australian Mint’s 1970 6-Coin Mint Set!
Australia embraced decimal currency in 1966, and, before long, the Royal Australian Mint struck the nation’s first decimal commemorative coin – the 1970 Captain Cook 50c. A unique, one-year-only type, this 50c tribute to British explorer James Cook is united in the official 1970 Mint Set with the 1c, 2c, 5c, 10c and 20c. Each coin bears a reverse design by numismatic master craftsman Stuart Devlin, united with the first decimal portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, by Arnold Machin. Presented in strictly Uncirculated quality, the six coins are united within the official Royal Australian Mint pack of issue.
As essential element of a decimal collection, this important Australian collection would also make a great gift for anyone born in 1970. Click add to cart now!
