Comments

This Fine Silver (.999) Proof 1 cent coin was released as part of the annual Fine Silver Proof Year Set in 2006. This set celebrated 40 years since decimalisation and included all eight Australian Decimal coins issued since then. The set also featured the original 1966 Arnold Machin obverse on each coin.

The Royal Australian Mint began releasing Fine Silver Year Sets in 2003 and have continued to do so since then. The Feather Glider standard reverse 1 cent coin was only included in the 2006 Fine Silver Proof Year set.

The Fine Silver Proof Set for 2006 also included a, 2 cent, 5 cent, 10 cent, 20 cent, Round 50 cent, $1 and $2 coin as well as this 1 cent coin. The set was issued in a jarrah wood presentation case.



The standard Bronze version of the 1 cent coin which this Silver coin is based on was introduced into circulation in Australia in 1966 to replace the old £sd Penny.
