1970 Captain James Cook Bicentenary Commemorative Six-Coin Uncirculated Year Set Folder Pack
Representing a key milestone on the highway of Australian currency history, we are delighted to present the Australia 1970 Uncirculated 6-Coin Year Set!
Decimal currency was introduced in 1966, and it wasn’t long before Australia issued its first decimal commemorative coin – the 1970 Captain Cook 50c. Paying homage to iconic British explorer James Cook, and the 200th anniversary of his navigation of Australia’s east coast, this unique, one-year-only 50c type is united with the 1970 1c, 2c, 5c, 10c and 20c. Each coin bears a reverse design created by numismatic master craftsman, Stuart Devlin, and is distinguished by the first decimal portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, created by Arnold Machin. Outstanding value-for-money, the 6-coin set is presented in strictly Uncirculated quality!
As essential element of a decimal collection, and a sensational birthday gift for anyone born in 1970, this important Australian collection is beautifully presented within an informative, illustrated, ‘ready-to-wrap’ pack.
