Released by the RAM in 1992 to commemorate the Northern Territory is this $10 Sterling Silver Proof (.925) coin. It was released in a capsule in plush pink case.

The Northern Territory is home to a multitude of Australia's precious national treasures. Ayers Rock, Kakadu National Park & Katherine Gorge to name a few. Every year hundreds and thousands of tourists flock to experience the arid, mystical regions of the Red Centre, the lush tropical wetlands of the Top End, and all of the amazing and beautiful sights in between.
