Comment
The year 2003 saw the Royal Australian Mint consult with the peak volunteering body, Volunteers Australia to design a set of coins celebrating the contribution of more than 4 million volunteers. This Fine Silver (.999) Proof NCLT Commemorative coin was issued as part of the very first Fine Silver Six coin Proof Set in 2003 which contained silver versions of circulation coin releases in 2003. A standard 5 cent, standard 10 cent, this 20 cent commemorative, a commemorative 50 cent, a commemorative $1 and a standard $2 were part of the set. The coins were issued in capsules in a beautiful jarra wooden box.
