Comment
This Fine Silver (.999) Proof NCLT coin was released as Coin #5, part of the 2004 "Masterpieces in Silver" setThis set is recognising 20 Years of the Australian Dollar coin. This coin is a remake of the reverse of the 1994 Dollar Decade coin which itself commemorated 10 years since the Dollar Note was phased out in preference to the Dollar coin. (However this 2004 issued coin has the IRB Effigy of Queen Elizabeth II instead of the RDM Effigy as used on the 1994 issued coin)
An Aluminium-bronze and two slightly different Sterling Silver versions of the coin were released in 1994.
