Comment
This is a Sterling Silver (.925) NCLT version of the Aluminium-bronze coin that the RAM issued into circulation in 1988. It was issued in the Masterpieces in Silver sets for 1988 & 1990. It was also issued at the Sydney Coin Fairs in both of those years. The 1990 MIS set also included a 1 ounce Silver bar designed to resemble an Australian One Dollar Note.
