Comment

This NCLT Aluminium-bronze $1 coin was released by the RAM in two different Two Coin Sets, (UNC & Proof).
The coins were commemorating 200 Years of Wool Exporting from Australia to the rest of the world.
The other coin in the sets was a Copper-nickel NCLT 20 Cent coin (KM# 1502)


This was the Uncirculated Set.     This was the Proof Set
