1996 Henry Parkes Complete Set of 5 Mintmarks $1 Coins

This set contains each of the 5 $1 coins honouring Australia's "Father of Federation".
The mintmark one dollar series is hugely popular right around the country - these coins are affordable, scarce and really well presented, which is why they're put away by parents, grandparents and keen collectors as soon as they're released.
There are always new collectors coming into the market each year, when many of them decide to get the back issues, it means there's plenty of healthy competition for the few that come onto the market! Not only do most collectors want one of each design, they want one of each mintmark that was used.
The 1996 $1 coin features the (somewhat unattractive) bust of Sir Henry Parkes - a key figure leading up to Australia's federation in 1901.
Each $1 mintmark coin bears the same design, except for a letter identifying the city for which it was struck: A (Adelaide), B (Brisbane), M (Melbourne), S (Sydney) and C (Canberra).
These coins remains in as-issued condition, and come with the original wallets they were issued in by the RAM.
