Comments

Released by the RAM is this Fine Silver (.999) Proof version of the Great Aussie Coin Hunt series of coins that were also issued in Aluminium-bronze in change, tubes & coincards at Australia Post outlets. This silver coin was issued in a capsule in a 26 coin cased set, with limited edition of mintage 250, with certificate. These were retailed at $1250 but are now fetching much higher prices on the secondary market.


This coin is the Letter "R" for the "Royal Flying Doctor Service". On any given day the RFDS helps someone every two minutes in Australia. These heroes provide primary healthcare and emergency services in rural and remote areas of the country, servicing communities that don't have access to a doctor or hospital. In 2018 the RFDS flew over 26 million kilometres, which is the equivalent of flying to the Moon and back 34 times.
