A trailblazing set, and a truly spectacular celebration of the 50th anniversary of decimal currency, Australia’s 2016 Uncirculated 6-Coin Year Set comprises an unbelievable SIX commemoratives! Utterly unique and extremely scarce, the collection comprises six Australian legal tender coins from 5c to $2. While each of those coins carries the traditional reverse design for its denomination, the obverses are anything but traditional. A sensational concept, the obverse of each coin unites a cameo portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with a reverse design originally employed for one of Australia’s predecimal coins! Struck by the Royal Australian Mint, the 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, $1 & $2 depict the predecimal Penny, Threepence, Sixpence, Shilling, Florin and Crown respectively! Representing the first and thus far only time that circulating Australian coin types have carried obverse commemorative designs, the 2016 Uncirculated 6-Coin Year Set is naturally sought after by predecimal and decimal collectors alike. In part, demand for the set is inspired by the scarcity of the coins in Uncirculated quality – in large part due to the extremely low mintages. The 2016 5c is the second lowest mintage circulating 5c date, while the 2016 20c is the third lowest mintage Platypus 20c date. The 2016 10c & 2016 $2 are among the lowest mintage issues of their respective denominations, and the 2016 $1 is a key to the entire decimal series. For unknown reasons, the mintage of the $1 was closed at an astonishingly low 560,000 coins, making it the second lowest mintage circulating $1 date! It is the scarcity of the 2016 Decimal Currency 50th Anniversary coins in top grade that makes this opportunity so important. With every coin included in strictly Uncirculated quality, this landmark set is simply a must-have. Click add to cart now!
