2016 6x Coin The Changeover RAM Year Set - Mintage: 63,571

Product description:

Celebrate 50 years of Australian decimal currency with the 2016 The Changeover six coin uncirculated year set from the Royal Australian Mint. This anniversary release honours Australia’s transition from pounds, shillings and pence to dollars and cents on 14 February 1966.

The set includes the 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, $1 and $2 coins, all dated 2016 in uncirculated finish. Each coin retains its familiar Australian reverse and features a special anniversary obverse combining a smaller portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with a historic pre-decimal coin design. These include the kangaroo penny, wheat threepence and ram’s head shilling.

With a standard set mintage of 63,571, this release suits collectors of Australian currency history, commemorative coins and RAM year sets. Originally issued in a presentation card with an outer sleeve, it also makes an appealing keepsake to mark a special occasion from 2016.
