Australian Decimal Coins (Six-Coin Set), Coin Set from Australia - detailed information

This coin set is the first issued by the (then newly founded) Royal Australian Mint, and contains all six of the circulating denominations issued by Australia at the time: from 1 Cent up to 50 Cents (the larger denominations of $1 and $2 had not yet not introduced at that time). These are the first decimal Australian coins, after the transition from the pre-decimal Australian Pound.

The 50 cents coin is the only circulating silver issued by Australia after decimalisation; after 1966, the denomination was debased and the round silver coin included in this set was replaced by a twelve-sided copper-nickel 50c piece.

The 5, 10, and 20 cents in the set were struck by the Royal Mint in London.
