Celebrate two centuries of Australian history with this remarkable 1988 Bicentennial Coin & Note Collection, the first-ever combined presentation issued jointly by the Royal Australian Mint and the Reserve Bank of Australia. This rare set includes three commemorative coins ($2, $5, and $10) and three matching banknotes ($2, $5, and $10), honoring 200 years since the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788. The standout $10 coin is struck in .925 silver, weighing 20g with a 34mm diameter, while the $10 note holds a special place in numismatic history as one of the world’s first polymer banknotes ever issued—a groundbreaking innovation by Australia. Each piece features the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, symbolizing the era’s monarchy and Australia’s Commonwealth ties. Presented in its original folder with an official certificate of authenticity, this set reflects genuine provenance and craftsmanship. With only limited original presentation packs surviving in complete condition, this collection is a prized addition for collectors of Australian coinage, polymer note pioneers, and Bicentennial memorabilia enthusiasts alike.
