1990 Proof Set Coin Fair Issue
Issued at the NAA Sydney International Coin Fair
Mintage: 5,000
A truly exclusive proof set released at the Sydney NAA Coin Show in 1990.
Australia has been producing proof and mint 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.
For some reason, the mintage of the 1990 mint set was reduced by about 30% on previous years and was the lowest for over a decade.
This is why the 1990 proof set is one of only two Australian decimal proof coin sets you'll ever be able to get cheaper than the mint set of the same year.
Exclusive Packaging
Between 1992 and 1990, the RAM decided to release a slightly rarer variation of the standard proof set - the coins were presented in an exclusive type of packaging.
This particular set was released at the Sydney Coin Fair in 1990 and has a mintage of just 5,000 sets.
The coins in this set are in perfect condition, as is the packaging.
