Murazor Valued Member Poland 114 Posts	Posted 04/12/2011 05:02 am The coin it's all about: It is a part of the "Bicentenary of Australia" series. It was stuck (most probably) in the Pobjoy Mint. There are at least two versions of this coin: UNC Cu-Ni 38.5mm Proof Au 1/2oz, 32mm Now there is some info I look for, but it is either inaccessible or there are contradictory pieces of information around. How many versions do exist in fact? Two, the ones mentioned above? Or is there a Proof Cu-Ni version too? Some sources mention the "Proof version" in addition to the gold one. What were the mintages? For the gold version I've found both 7500 and 500. (I can hardly believe in the first...) For the mythical Proof Cu-Ni I've found 500 but that may as well apply to the gold version. Who is the designer of the reverse? I'd be grateful for any information. Taking into account that there is a lot of misleading information about this coin in the internet, I'd be also very thankful for mentioning what are the sources of data you provide.

But I don't have any info regarding the mintages, and what was issued in unc and what was proof ... Have you tried Numismaster? That database and website http://numismaster.com/ is based on the Krause (SCWC) catalog data. Christian Report this Post to the Staff
Murazor Valued Member Poland 114 Posts	Posted 04/12/2011 09:41 am Thanks for the info and the link. It helped a lot. Meanwhile - surprise, surprise! - I got an answer from The Pobjoy Mint. Combining them two together I got all the information I needed. It turned out that there are five versions of this coin: two Cu-Ni, and one Ag, Au and Pt. Case closed then. :) Report this Post to the Staff
