2002 Australian
Proof and Uncirculated Sets
Year of the Outback
The 2002 Australian Proof and Uncirculated sets are very special, it is dedicated to something Australian's recognise as part of our great southern land - The Outback. An area few have visited but plenty of people would love to see.
To many Australian's it is simply out there, it is an intriguing area beyond the verges of civilisation, but it is full of colour day and night, with unique landscapes, lovely sunsets, characters and animal life that would make anyone be pleased that they live in the "Big Smoke".
The Sets have two commemorative coins to commemorate the outback theme.
The $1 coin depicts the official year of the outback logo, while the 50c coin has a familiar symbol of Australia - The Windmill.
Images of Olga's and other inland landscapes beautify the landscape packaging on the six coin sets. The red earth look about the packaging just enhances the Outback theme.
The $1 coin is produced in colour only in the proof sets

Battle Of Sunda Strait
28th February - 1st March 1942
The 28th of February 2002 was the 60th Anniversary of the battle of Sunda Strait, in which naval ships, the USS Houston and the HMAS Perth were surrounded by far superior enemy force in Sunda Strait in the Indonesian Archipelago.
The Royal Australian Mint has released these two collector coins to commemorate this event in honour of those who lost their lives in the battle, those crew members who died as prisoners of war, and those, as captives, who survived the privation and cruelty of wartime interment. These coins are a fitting tribute to those in the face of overwhelming odds showed outstanding courage in the battle, and in the prisoner of war camps. These two ships after escaping from the Battle of the Java Sea, were seeking safe passage through Sunda Strait, where they encountered an enemy invasion of some 80 odd vessels. Although surrounded and severely out gunned these ships fought valiantly until the end and sank within 20 minutes of each other in the early hours of the 1st of March.
These coins are part of the Bi Annual $5 series commemorating special events relevant to Australia as well as celebrating famous Australian and Australian icons.
The Aluminium bronze proof coin depicts the forward sections of the Perth and Houston, and is housed in a plush presentation case numbered and signed by the mints controller. The mintage of the proof coin is only 15,000.

2002 150th Anniversary of the
Adelaide Pound
$10 Silver Proof Coin.
This coin is being minted by the Royal Australian Mint to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the Adelaide Pound. The Adelaide Pound was the first gold coin struck in Australia using Australian gold and with a design and dies that were produced locally.
Due to the shortage of coins in the mid 1800s, the local colonial government authorised the Adelaide Pound coins to be struck. The Adelaide Pound coin was eventually re-called and melted down and so the pound had a higher gold content than its face value, so very few of the coins remain to this day. The commemorative coin features the image of the observe and the reverse of the 'type I' Adelaide Pound struck on a gold plated silver centre, which is the exact diameter of the original Adelaide Pound. It is surrounded by a ring of pure silver, and has a silver content of 60.50grams, and it is the largest coin yet produced by the Mint. This coin has a limited mintage of only 10,000 and is presented
in a beautiful presentation case, and a Numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
