Comment
This coin was released by the RAM to Commemorate the Centenary of the Federation of Australia in 1901. Prior to 1901 Australia was just a collection of separate Colonies of the British Crown. This coin was issued into general circulation and included in the annual "UNC Year Mint Set" and "UNC Baby Koala Set". It was also issued in Nine different "Three Coin UNC Sets", (One for each State & Territory of Australia), and a "Limited Edition 20 coin UNC Folder".
