Peter S Thomas Valued Member Australia 216 Posts	Posted 07/13/2014 8:43 pm Ok call me crazy but I did not know that Australia had an "8" dollar coin. I know of the following 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 100, 150 and 200. (got a feeling that there is a 15 as well but not sure on that one.) The thing is with this coin, the denomination and the reverse design both raise red flags with me, I don't want to call it "fake" as I don't know for sure. Just I want to do a lot more research on it. Report this Post to the Staff

Peter S Thomas Valued Member Australia 216 Posts	Posted 07/14/2014 01:19 am Ok did a bit of digging and the Perth Mint does issue an "8 Dollar" silver coin. The specs are that it is a 5 ounce coin and they sell them currently for $480 aust. It appears that the 1 ounce from the same series has a 1 dollar denomination on it. I guess this still does not prove anything one way or the other. Report this Post to the Staff
