Comment

2009 marked the 60th Anniversary since the enactment of the Australian Citizenship Act of 1948. This NCLT coin released by the RAM was issued to commemorate this event. The coin was issued in Coincards either Green or Blue in colour. The coin was issued with [B], [M] & [S] Privymarks and a "C" Mintmark.


The coin shown above has the ‘C’ Mintmark. This was issued either at the Gallery Press at the RAM, or pre Struck at the RAM for general and Dealer Sales. It was also issued in an overprinted Coincard at the Brisbane ANDA Show.
