Comment
This NCLT Copper-nickel 20 cent coin was released by the RAM in two different 2 Coin Sets, (UNC & Proof).The coins were commemorating many years of Wheat production & exporting from Australia to the rest of the world. This twenty cent coin harkens to the historic Wheat Sheaf Three Penny design that appeared on Australia’s pre-decimal currency. The other coin in the sets was an Aluminium-bronze NCLT $1 coin (KM# 1626)
This was the Uncirculated Set.
