Australian $5 Euro----Order Here

if you use the url to knm.nl and delete the rest of the url you will get the main page and can navigate from there, have fun :) it is a good site and shows a pic of the RAM coin as well

Sorry Crystalk64, I will cancel my order, I will order direct from the mint as I want the set containing the RAM produced $5 dollar coin as well. Sorry for any inconvenience

All the info I have is what I got from the Dutch mint site through the link above and a little more info from Bigfella. The set comes with the Australian Euro and a 5 dollar legal tender coin produced by the Royal Australian Mint. The RAM are releasing a number of sets with the gold coin to dealers but at this stage not releasing any of the 2 silver coin sets. I was going to get just the single Euro, until I heard about the 2 coin set, and just having it sent to a friend over in the U.S. Some places won't ship coins to Australia due to customs restrictions but the Dutch mint seems to have no problem with this..lol So for what I think is a reasonable price for a 2 coin silver set, around $150.00 AUD delivered, I will order direct from the Dutch mint. I have sent a couple of emails to the RAM about the release but they have failed to respond.

I wish I was on the forum when you took the order :-( Thats a great deal and id love it lol I hope yall enjoy.

I would love one but I dont think I can afford to get it right now :-( Thanks anyways though I greatly appreciate the thoughtfulness. I got until next month before I can afford to buy any more

Thanks. Let me know if there are any left over and id be happy to buy one.

Terry just wondering but how much silver and whats the purity of it in these coins? Is it the same as a ASE a Morgan dollar or something else? I cant seem to have any luck on the website. I cant even find the coin more less read the information. I do want one and would love to know what I can about it. Thanks. :)

Anouncing the official commemorative coin: the Australian Five Euro Coin
400 years of Australia
26 February 2006 marks the 400th anniversary of Captain Willem Janszoon's discovery of the Australian coast in his ship, 't Duyfken. In the years that followed, Abel Tasman charted more of the continent. The relationship between the Netherlands and Australia has been close ever since. The celebration of 400 years of friendship and the striking of the commemorative coin further emphasises the bond between the two countries.



Design
Designer Irma Boom designed the Australia Five Euro Coin. In doing so she used six globes, each of which show a different perspective of the world. Lines symbolising the routes of the Dutch East India Company cross over each other. The mintmastersign (course-setting sails) is engraved at the spot where 't Duyfken made landfall.



Circulation figures: Silver 5 euro Circulation grade Max. 500,000
Silver 5 euro Proof grade Max. 22,500
Golden 10 euro Proofk grade Max. 3,500



The Royal Australian Mint is also issuing an official commemorative coin. This silver 5 dollar coin bears an engraving of 't Duyfken: the ship in which Willem Janszoon sailed along the coast of what was then a new continent. The coin is regarded as legal tender in Australia.
