2004 "Come Alive"
Proof and Mint Sets
Baby Proof and Mint Sets.
An Australian and World first, the 2004 proof year set includes Australia's standard $1 coin in holographic format. The Royal Australian Mint has been setting the standard high again and have come up with this wonderful innovation with the help of the CSIRO and is a 'must have' for all collectors.
Back by popular demand the mint has brought back Australia's six standard circulating decimal coins. With the Kangaroo design back on the dollar coin the mint has used the latest technology in conjunction with the CSIRO and used the holographic format on the dollar coin. The five kangaroos appear as multi-coloured, iridescent holograms that make our $1 coin virtually 'Come Alive'. The fine pattern of grooves applied to the surface of the coin results in the coin having an iridescent holographic image as the coin is tilted. As the Royal Australia Mint's most popular issue, the Uncirculated year sets have previously set a high standard that each year improved upon. Every 2004 Uncirculated year sets is struck to a resplendent detailed finish.
The Uncirculated set does not have the hologram dollar coin in the set, only the plain 5 Kangaroos dollar coin.

1854 - 2004 150 Years
of Steam Railways in Australia
$5 Silver Proof Coin
The first steam train left Flinders Street Station for Sandridge (Port Melbourne). A $5 silver proof coin has been chosen by the Royal Australian Mint to feature a steam train emerging from the Australian landscape, recognising the significance of this event in the development of the whole of the country. On 3rd July 1850 the daughter of the NSW governor turned the turf to mark the commencement of the construction of Australia's first railway. The Sydney Railway Company had taken the first steps in realising a dream of linking the productive rural districts with the heart of the commercial development in the cities. However, the attraction of instant wealth on the gold fields interrupted the works.
It was May 1855 before the first train left Sydney Station for Long Cove. Meanwhile, with rivalry between the colonies running at a high, the Hobson's Bay Railway Company had completed a line between Flinders Street and Port Melbourne. The first train left on 12th September 1854 before a large gathering. Complimenting the coin is the packaging; the leatherette presentation case being inspired by the leather upholstery of the early steam trains and a booklet capturing the historic milestones in the 150 years since the first steam railway was opened.
The mintage of this coin is limited to 15,000.

2004 Bicentenary of Tasmania
'H' Mintmark

The Bicentenary of Tasmania is a milestone in Australian history, which is being recognised by the Royal Australian Mint in 2004. The fine silver proof coin was a huge success with collectors, the low mintage being sold out within weeks.

The Aluminum / Zinc / Bronze uncirculated $5 coin has been struck to capture the beautiful design which was so well received on the silver proof coin. A first for the Mint is the inclusion of an 'H' for Hobart mintmark on a 38.74 mm $5 coin. This uncirculated coin has been enhanced with frosting to highlight the detail and beauty of the design. The coin is packed in a blister, held in a three part coin holder and inserted in a sleeve for display. The coin is sure to be sought by all collectors and the mintage will be to demand.

2004 Masterpieces in Silver
20 years of the Australian Dollar Coin
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of the $1 coin, the Royal Australian Mint is to release this truly unique collection of fine silver coins. The six coins in the set expound the skills of the master craftsmen and tell an intriguing story about the history of the dollar coin. The past and the present are captured in the designs selected for their place in the development of the coin. Research in the Mint National Coin Collection revealed three coin designs, which have not been previously seen by collectors or the Australian public. The wombat design was submitted by Stuart Devlin. The other of five kangaroos has remained in the collection and included as a glimpse at what might have been. These have now been struck for the first time.
A very rare inclusion is the seven-sided experimental coin, which used the design of an Imperial Lion. This Test Piece was subsequently rejected due to impracticality and manufacturing difficulties at that time, ruling this shape out as a circulating coin. These three coins alone are 'firsts' for numismatic enthusiasts. This set is limited to only 18,000 sets. The 2004 Masterpieces in Silver has captured the essence of the twenty year history of the dollar coin in six coins, each with unique qualities, which is sure to see a high demand for the set.

2004 Fine Silver Proof Year Set
Australia's coins are among the most beautiful in the world. Featuring artwork that reflects the natural splendor of our fauna and culture with rare style and grace, these coins are crafted in pure silver, for the collector who appreciates quality and who seeks to acquire an important part of our cultural heritage. The set includes all of our standard coins, which in turn portray an Echidna, Lyrebird, Platypus, our Coat of Arms, a group of Kangaroos and a dignified Aboriginal Elder. Australian collectors' interest in a fine silver version of the Proof Year Set, was realised in 2003 with the Mint's first release of a Fine Silver Year Set. The response to the premium quality and presentation saw a quick sell-out of the 6,500 mintage. Finished to a standard of the highest calibre and presented in a Tasmanian Oak box, this 2004 Silver Proof Year Set will remain a treasured part of any collection for years to come. The Royal Australian Mint has maintained the low mintage of only 6,500 sets.
