Heres some pics of coins, I have not seen before and would like to know more info about these coins.

I have heard that these coins were made for the international market (Germany)

1st coin is Mombassa 2008 type coin: normally silver proof, cupronickel, gold plate, uncirculated silver and gold proof. But I have never heard of this "coloured type"

2nd coin is ken done 2009 type coin: normally silver proof, cupronickel, gold plate, uncirculated silver and gold proof. But I have never heard of this "coloured type"

3rd coin koala 2011 type coin: silver proof. "With privy mark"

Info I would like to know is the original retail price and can you buy them in Australia.

Can anyone confirm that they are real or is someone having a laugh making knock offs.

Downies commissioned the coloured Pure Silver $1 in colour in years 2000 2001 2002 and the RAM ordered them to stop.Good work,they did but then again maybe not when I see these extra efforts ?

Official reply from RAM about these coins is:

Dear Simon
Thank you for your email.
The Royal Australian Mint has not released any coins with the appearance of those that appear in the link you have provided. Any Royal Australian Mint Certificate of Authenticity that is issued with these coins would not be valid.
Regards
Customer Service Team
Royal Australian Mint

I was hoping the RAMint had a statement in the media release about these,they had nothing so I asked their opinion and formal statement and thats the reply
So don't expect a certificate with these if purchased the colouring is post mint added

I agree cnsjok
But I doubt RAM would never take their biggest customer to court,easier for them to ignore the deliberate defacing of a legal tender Australian Coin
