2005 Subscription $1 Silver Proof Coin
1855 Sydney Half Sovereign

 

The release of the Royal Australian Mint’s Subscription Series highlights both an Australian and numismatic milestone –
it is a unique blend of the old and the new.

This coin celebrates 150 years of the Sydney Mint, by honouring one of its most celebrated coins, the
1855 Half Sovereign.

The 1855 Australian sovereign and half sovereign were the first sovereigns to be minted outside Britain. They were introduced at a time when the Gold Rush was shaping Australia's future and when there was a shortage of coins throughout the British Empire.

With the reproduction of this extremely rare masterpiece, in an exciting new setting, collectors have the chance to own a unique part of Australian history. The original 1855 Australian half sovereign has become one of the most sought after coins in the world. Whilst 21,000 were minted in 1855 few survived in good condition fuelling demand for one of the most desirable Australian coins in history.

The coin incorporates both frosted and proof finishes. It is made in fine silver (99.9%) with a proof finish to further emphasis the gold plated depiction of the 1855 Sydney Mint Half Sovereign. The coin is beautifully housed in a display case, with packaging that complements the tone of the coin.

Australia's First Steam Train
Silver Proof Dollar 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.

of Steam Railways in Australia

The first steam train left Flinders Street Station for Sandridge (Port Melbourne).
