AUSTRALIA 2003 PROOF SET (SILVER) Purity: 99.99% Weight: 148.54g Nett: 4.78ozt The very first Australian decimal proof set to be struck in pure silver! Australia has been producing proof year sets ever since decimal currency was introduced in 1966. Proof coins are the same as those we see in our change, but are struck with specially prepared machinery on specially prepared blanks - the designs always stand out magnificently. The RAM decided to add an exclusive product to their range in 2003 - the fine silver proof set. Housed in a hand-made jarrah case, the set includes each of the coins seen in the standard proof set struck in pure 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 2003 proof set honours the contribution made to Australia's society by our volunteers, and is important if only because it includes not one but three commemorative coins! (The first set since 1988 to introduce three brand new coins). The coins in this set are in perfect condition, as is the packaging. |

The Australian proof and UNC coins struck by the Perth Mint and the RAM are the most accessible coins available to collectors today.
Our online stock doesn't reflect all of the decimal coins that we handle on a regular basis, much less the stock we have access to, so if you're not able to find a particular coin that you're keen to add to your collection, let us know and we'll be happy to contact you when it becomes available. read more
