This impressive set contains each of the 4 bimetal coins struck by the Perth Mint between 1999 and 2001.
1999 Proof Sovereign: The proof commemorative sovereign of 1999 was the very first bi-metal coin struck by the Perth Mint. This superb coin features a 22ct gold core with the exact same specifications as the Imperial sovereigns struck at the Perth Mint between 1899 and 1931, and is housed within a pure silver surround. Each coin includes a full quarter ounce of solid gold. Just 7,500 proof examples such as this one were produced - we'll leave you to be the judge of whether the design quality is up to the standard of the originals!
2000 Millennium: The reverse of this coin features a satellite view of the earth - it was easily the rarest and most desirable of all of the coins issued at the turn of the Millennium in 2000.
2001 Millennium: Featuring a 99.99% pure gold border, the coin's design looks something like a watch, in recognition of the modern time-keeping methods. Made from 99.9% silver, the central design of the coin features an observatory and the night sky highlighted in colour. Representing the planet's orbit around the sun, which takes one year, there are three depictions of the Earth in different positions.
2001 Centenary of Federation: The bimetal coin released by the Perth Mint commemorating the Centenary of Federation was easily the most exclusive coin in the Centenary of Federation series - beautifully presented, made of precious metal and with a tiny mintage. It also had a limited mintage of just 7,500.
The four-coin set is housed in a custom-made jarrah case and comes with an individually numbered certificate.
