Notes:

This is the first in a Millennium 3-Coin Bi-Metallic Series. Representing The Past,the copper core of this coin reflects the existing richness of our culture and growing maturity of the continent - both the land and the people. The silver outer ring indicates our progression through time and the arrival of other cultures - The Present - which moves to the center in the second coin.

The reverse design shows a seedling rising through the centre, signifying the early development of Australia as a nation. The sun, our source of life, is beginning to rise on the horizon.

The coin is encapsulated and housed in a black leatherette, hinged lid presentation case, protected by a colourful cardboard box.
