This NCLT $1 coin issued by the RAM commemorates the Australian Wheat Industry and replicates the design that adorned the tiny 16mm pre-decimal silver threepence from 1938 to 1964.

In a Four Coin UNC Mint set with "C" Mintmark and [B], [M] & [S] Privymarks.
In a folding coincard at the MYO Gallery Press at the RAM in Canberra with a "C" Mintmark (Mintage Unknown)

In a folding coincard at the ANDA Show in Sydney using the Mobile Press with a (S) Counterstamp

These are three images of the above coincards. - (B) & (M) Counterstamp & 'C' Mintmark
A further Aluminium-bronze issue was the Bluebell Counterstamp which was applied to a "C" Mintmarked coin at the "Enlighten" event in Canberra and also issued in this coincard.
