2004 Bicentenary of Tasmania 'H' Mintmark Five Dollar Bronze Uncirculated Coin
Description
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. To continue the celebrations and provide an opportunity for all Tasmanians to collect this commemorative coin, the Mint has worked closely with the Tasmanian Bicentennial Committee to produce the same design on an affordable collector coin.
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
