Australia has been producing proof year sets ever since decimal currency was introduced in 1966. Proof coins are the same as those we see in our change, but are struck with specially prepared machinery on specially prepared blanks - the designs always stand out magnificently. The RAM decided to add an exclusive product to their range in 2003 - the fine silver proof set. Housed in a hand-made jarrah case, the set included each of the coins seen in the standard proof set struck in pure silver. There's something about seeing these commemorative designs when they've been struck in pure silver - the frosted relief on a mirrored background makes them stand out really well, and they look far better than they do when (if!) you can get them out of your change. For the first time in 40 years, the 2006 50¢ coin was not only round, but it was also produced using silver. This silver 50¢ coin was only available in the proof sets - the 2006 mint set includes a dodecahedron 50¢ coin struck in standard copper nickel. The 2006 proof sets were also the first to include 1¢ and 2¢ coins since 1991 - incredible when we consider they haven't been produced for circulation for several decades now. The coins, case, outer shipper, and certificate are all included and remain in excellent condition. Specifications Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
