1999 Masterpieces in Silver Six Coin Collection

COINS OF THE 20TH CENTURY - MEMORIES

The approach of a new era often beckons us to review our past.  This century has seen courage, despair, and nature conquered, but also great human achievement.  Some remarkable and tragic events include the outbreak of two World Wars, the Great Depression, Kingsford Smith and Mawson's quests, and the exceptional singing career of Dame Nellie Melba.  Overall, the triumph of the human spirit has left its stamp on the last 100 years.

Almost a quarter of a century of Australia's history is represented by the coins in this collection: the 1918 sixpence, 1920 sovereign, 1930 penny, 1939 kangaroo halfpenny, 1940 shilling and 1942 threepence.

This beautiful 1998 Masterpieces in Silver Proof set is one of a limited mintage of 15,000.

The nine coins have each been designed and struck to the highest standards of quality by the Royal Australian Mint in Canberra.  A certificate guarantees the limited mintage and assures you of an outstanding and valuable addition to your collection. 

The coins are beautifully presented in the Royal Australian Mint original dark purple box, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and outer box.
