ONE DOLLAR SILVER PROOF 2001 Army -- test
Submited by andrew on Wed, 26/05/2010
333 AUSTRALIA 2001 ONE DOLLAR SILVER PROOF Centenary Of The Australian Army commemorative. Obverse: Rank-Broadley portrait of Elizabeth II to right; Reverse: Army crest Purity: 99.99% Weight: 11.66g Nett: 0.37ozt The Centenary of the Army commemorative $1 coin, struck to incredible proof condition in pure silver. The proof silver one dollar coins are the second most popular products that the RAM makes each year (the mint sets have been best sellers for decades!), largely due to the unique beauty and appeal of the coins when struck in silver. There's something about seeing these commemorative designs when they've been struck in pure silver - the frosted relief on a mirrored background makes them stand out really well, and they look far better than they do when (if!) you can get them out of your change.The Centenary of the Army coin marks one hundred years since the unification of Australia's colonial armed forces into one single, national force. The "rising sun" crest on the reverse depicts a seven-pointed semi-circle of swords and bayonets radiating from a crown.Bookmark/Search this post with:
