The coins feature animals that are used on the circulating coins. RAM has already sold out the silver proof version. Some sellers on ebay have been selling the silver well over what the RAM has sold for! Gold is asking for some serious premium...!!! https://www.ramint.gov.au/about-us/...mal-currency My partial coin collection http://www.omnicoin.com/collection/gxseries My numismatics articles and collection: http://www.gxseries.com/numis/numis_index.htm Regularly updated at least once a month.

Yes, way above other 1/10th oz available, it is a great design and would like it but not at $950 . Can't see it getting cheaper though. Bought the 1/10th gold RAM 60th Anniversary which some might say a very similar theme , for over $200 less and gold has not risen that much between releases of both coins. Also I think the mintage of the newer 60th Anniversary of decimal currency gold coin is actually one more @ 2,026 whereas the 60th anniversary of the RAM is @ 2,025.

I remember I was at the RAM 2 years ago and they were selling the space gold coin. Silver space coin was sold out. The gold coin was less than 500 dollars. That was after the bluey madness and gold price started to rise. Believe the original retail price was around 400 dollars. In a matter of couple of years - gold has gone up more than double! I recall looking at the Sydney harbour gold coin and was really tempted to get it. I'm sure it was under 5-6000 back then. It's a lot more expensive today!!!

Still available( if your not being sarcastic) gxseries https://www.coincollect.com.au/prod...-Proof-Coin/ The seller is currently away and returns tomorrow so guessing they will increase the price on all of the gold coins they have. It would pay to buy today. Edited by crab eater 01/03/2026 6:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff

If anyone has gone there recently - it looks like they have glued (?) a lot of colored coins as part of their wall display. Thank you for the link btw!
