Comment
Although the actual "International Year of Peace" was 1986 this Sterling Silver (.925) Proof $1 "International Year of Peace" commemorative coin was re-issued by the RAM as part of the 1990 "Masterpieces in Silver - One Dollar Collection" set, along with two other silver proof one dollar commemorative coins. The Set was also issued separately at the Sydney ANDA Coin Fair. The set also included a 1 ounce Silver bar designed to resemble an Australian One Dollar Note.
