Comment
Coin struck by the RAM but issued by Australia Post as change into circulation from 3500 Post Offices Australia wide. The coins are featuring 26 classic Aussie icons from letters of the Alphabet from A to Z.This coin is the Letter "S" for "Surf Life Saving". Those unmistakeable red and yellow flags are a comfort to any beachgoer across Australia. We're able to enjoy swimming and surfing with confidence thanks to the almost 50,000 patrollers around the country keeping us safe. Surf Lifesavers perform over 10,000 rescues every year!
A press in album for the 26 coins was available for $9 or you can buy the full set of 26 coins in a special tube including the album for $49.
