A spectacular Australian commemorative combining fine silver, proof craftsmanship and innovative holographic technology.
Issued by the Royal Australian Mint as the finale to its 2002 Year of the Outback program, this legal-tender $5 coin celebrates the landscapes, character and enduring spirit of inland Australia. Its centre-piece is a radiant holographic Outback scene that changes appearance as the coin is tilted, producing an impressive display of light, colour and depth.
Only the second Australian coin to feature a holographic design, this distinctive release has an important place in modern Australian numismatics.
