This affordable Australian decimal gold coin contains 10 grams of solid 22ct gold.
The Australian commemorative $200 gold coin series was introduced in September 1980, some eight months after the gold price peaked at around US$850 per ounce.
The series ran until 1994, mintage figures declined each and every year along the way.
Now that it has been some time since the series ended and values have reached the level that collectors are prepared to pay, there are numerous collectors working on a complete set.
The 1985 $200 Uncirculated coin features the always-popular Koala reverse.
This uniquely Australian popular reverse design is popular with gold coin collectors right around the world.
When you consider that a limited edition $200 coin can be bought for much less than $100 above "melt" value, you can see these coins are excellent value for money.
Each coin contains 9.167g of solid 22ct gold, which is equivalent to 0.2947 ozt.
The coin and card remain in as-issued condition.
