The Royal Mint first released a Masterpieces in Silver set in 1988 to mark Australia's Bicentennial year, each of the new commemorative coins issued that year were produced in proof silver.
The Masterpieces in Silver series became so popular it became an enduring series, largely due to the unique beauty and appeal of the coins when struck in silver.
The 2002 Masterpieces in Silver set included five pure silver coins, each coin featuring one of the first European ships to sail to the Australian continent.
There's also a great deal of historical information to be found on these vessels in the certificate/brochure that is contained in the lid of the presentation case.
With so much silver in each set (more than 4 ounces), collectors still see them as being excellent value for money.
