2002 Silver Five Coin Proof Set (1kg 10oz 2oz 1oz 1/2oz)
Evolution of Time
Mintage: 198
This set includes one of the most stunning designs ever released by the Perth Mint.
Between 2001 and 2005, the reverse designs seen on the ten-ounce proof coins in the Australian Kookaburra series featured designs based on the tools or instruments that have helped man define his universe through the ages.
The 2002 coin - Evolution of Time, is widely regarded as being one of the most stunning designs ever released by The Perth Mint. The reverse design reflects man's obsession with timekeeping and features representations of ancient and modern timekeeping methods.
The mintage of the individual coin released in a black, free-standing display case with a clear perspex screen, was just 1,130 coins.
The latin inscription reads '"Tempus fugit et nunquam revertitur" (Time flies and never returns).
Both sides have been treated to produce an 'antiqued' appearance - this is the first Australian coin to be finished in this way.
The five coins in this set are: kilo kookaburra; 10 ozt (with the Evolution of Time reverse design); 2ozt kookaburra; 1ozt kookaburra and square 1/2 ozt kookaburra.
The coins, case and certificate are all included and remain in excellent condition.
Please note - the material used in the production of the outer case has not held up well over time.
This particular set has been stored well, bit still has a slightly dusty appearance to it.
The reverse of the 1kg coin has some tone evident in the field between 9 and 12.
