2004 35th Anniversary of the
First Moon Walk
Australian One Dollar
1oz Silver Proof Dollar Coin
A world first, this stunning proof silver coin marks the 35th Anniversary of man's greatest technological achievement. Thanks to Dynamic Imaging, a Kodak - developed process, it features interlaced NASA pictures of Apollo 11's momentous mission, which 'morph' miraculously from one to another as the coin's viewing angle is changed. Given that Australia's Honeysuckle Creek and Parkes radio telescope enabled millions across the world to watch Armstrong and Aldrin's 1969 moon walk, this sensational coin carries Australian legal tender status. The 1oz silver proof coin is struck from 99.9% pure silver. The interlaced images incorporated in the 35th Anniversary of the first moon walk commemorative coin depicts the Apollo 11 Saturn Five space rocket, astronaut Buzz Aldrin's space suit and helmet, and the deployment of the United States flag on the surface of the moon by Armstrong and Aldrin.
The words 35th ANNIVERSARY OF THE FIRST MOON WALK and 2004 year date are included on the reverse. This coin has a mintage of no more than 40,000 coins worldwide. Even though the mintage is very generous, this is a very popular theme and a first of it kind and will be popular for years to come. All coins are housed in a stylish, blue coloured presentation case, accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity.

2004 Eureka Stockade 150th Anniversary
Stamp and Coin Cover
The Perth Mint has added a coloured coin struck from cupro-nickel to its suite of commemorative products marking the 150th Anniversary of the Eureka Stockade.
It is the first base metal Australian legal tender collector coin struck by the Mint in its 105-year history.
The 2004-dated coin is available as part of Australia Post's highly collectable Eureka Stockade 150th Anniversary Stamp and Coin Cover. The coin's reverse depicts a frosted image of a miner's hand with a gold-coloured natural nugget in its palm. A coloured image of the Eureka flag - a blue background featuring the five stars of the Southern Cross constellation connected by a white cross - appears in the background. The words EUREKA STOCKADE 2004 are also included in the design.
The obverse features Ian Rank-Broadley's effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and the monetary denomination. The uncirculated quality coin is mounted on a colour card depicting part of the original Eureka Flag, flown by disgruntled diggers near Ballarat in 1854 in protest against unfair treatment on the Victorian goldfields. Their ensuing confrontation with government troops, which left many miners dead and injured, is depicted on the back of the card in a detail from Charles Alphonse Doudiet's painting 'Eureka Slaughter 3rd December 1854'. The card and coin come in a first day cover envelope printed with another image of the famous Eureka flag. The same image of the flag is reproduced in its entirety on a 50c Australia Post stamp, one of two postmarked with a first day of issue cancellation bearing the date 29 June 2004. The accompanying $2.45 Australia Post stamp portrays an image of Peter Lalor, the leader of the diggers' rebellion, against Doudiet's picture of the diggers swearing allegiance to the Eureka flag.

Royal Visit 50th Anniversary
1oz Silver Florin
1954-2004
When Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II arrived in Sydney on the 3rd February 1954, she became the first reigning Monarch to visit Australia. A significant milestone in Australian history, the 1954 Royal Visit was celebrated with the issue of a commemorative florin, one of only four produced in Australia between 1927 and 1954. The coin's unusual reverse, by William Leslie Bowles, depicts a British lion and Australian kangaroo standing shoulder to shoulder. Issued to coincide with the 50th Anniversary of the visit, this Australian legal tender coin, struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of pure silver, features a reproduction of the 1954 florin design on its reverse. Further numismatic appeal derives from the selective use of 24-carat gilding on the coin's reverse and obverse. Mintage has been set at 12,500 individual Royal Visit 50th Anniversary Florins. The coin's blue, flag-shaped presentation case is a reminder that during her visit, the Queen signed the Australian Flags Act. Each coin is accompanied by a Numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

Australia's First Steam Train
Silver Proof Coin
1854-2004
On the 12th of September 1854, the Melbourne and Hobson's Bay Railway Co. which linked Melbourne with its port, became the first steam railway to open in Australia.
The company began building its four kilometre line only the year before. Soon after being tested in May 1854, Australia's first steam train - essentially an improvised locomotive hauling several ballast trucks took directors of the new railway company for a ride at giddying speeds up to 29 kilometres per hour.
The company had two steam trains built and they successfully operated the Melbourne Hobson's Bay Railway Co's half-hourly service between Melbourne and Sandridge (Later Port Melbourne) until the end of the year, marking the beginning of the railway age in Australia.
Issued under the authority of the Cook Islands, this pure proof silver coin, featuring colour on its reverse design, has been released by the Perth Mint to mark the 150th Anniversary of this important milestone in railway history. This coin has a limited mintage of only 4,000 coins worldwide and is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
