Hi all, I have a mystery seeking a solution.
I came across the following e-bay listing:
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2673748...1&gad_tmp=no
The CoA clearly states RAM with (up to) 80,000 issued. The obverse confirms it is an Australian coin. However I can't find it in Mint Issue or my Rennick's (31 ed). Rennicks indicates RAM Prestige Lunar Series commences in 2012.
Is this perhaps an earlier issue for RAM 'club members' only or just an inadvertent omission from R31? I'm surprised I've not seen it come up for auction before especially with such a high number minted.

This silver coin was a privately commissioned release by Downies and minted by Royal Australian Mint. It was legal tender. I believe they also released a gold coin under the same specs..You will also find that Downies privately commissioned a 2010 Year Of the Tiger silver + gold coins as well

Belatedly, many thanks @mrcruise. Appreciate you sharing your wisdom.
Having asked a vendor of this and another coin if they would combine postage - they agreed they would - but they promptly increased the asking price on the coin - how miserable.
