Notes:

Accurate valuation of these pieces is extremely difficult due to their unavailability in the market place. Their tiny mintages make them extremely rare and valuable.

All coins have an 'S' mintmark (Sydney Mint) on the reverse above the date and the Jubilee Portrait Head of Queen Victoria on the Obverse.
