Low mintage Master Mintmark mayhem!An exclusive limited edition, with a mintage of reportedly under 7,000, this new Australian legal

tender type has sent $1 collectors into

a spin! A vital component for any genuinely complete collection, but available only to the privileged few, the 2009

$1 Master Mintmark

Counterstamp Al-Br BU has

instantly become one of the hottest

coins on the market – rocketing in value from A$12 to A$40+!

Issued to celebrate the most significant refurbishment of the Royal Australian Mint in it’s near half-century of operation, this distinctive type bears not one but TWO distinguishing ‘minter’s marks’. Not only graced with the new Master Mintmark, with a Roo bounding through the traditional C mintmark, this 25mm $1 coin also carries an exclusive ‘C’ counterstamp! An innovative, fitting presentation, each coin is housed within

a unique die-cut pack that represents the new RAM building! Counterstamped ONLY on the day the extensive renovations were unveiled, the tiny number issued makes this one of the lowest mintage al-br $1 types in the decimal series. With just a few examples of this must-have $1 type in stock, we must impose a limit of one coin per household.

THE COMPLETE COLLECTION!Affordable, collectable and complete, the RAM’s 2009 $1 Mintmark/Privymark Al-Br BU series forms a fine tribute to the 60th anniversary of the Australian Citizenship Act. A type unlikely to be issued for circulation, underpinned by an

inspired piece of numismatic design, the set includes the C Mintmark $1, plus the B, S & M Privymark $1 coins. Top value at Official Issue Price, each 25mm al-br $1 is set in a RAM pack.

One of the RAM’s finest works…


As anticipated, the RAM’s decision to set pre-determined mintages for the new 2010 Burke & Wills 2-Coin Sets has instantly sparked a collector stampede. With the mintages surprisingly low, and these unique Australian legal tender types found ONLY in these sets, the rush is on for those desperate to maintain a complete collection.

Celebrating the 150th anniversary of the tragically heroic 1860 Burke & Wills Expedition, the richly historic nature of the theme has also guaranteed interest from non-collectors. Indeed, it is the broad appeal of these coins – celebrating

two of the most famous characters in Australian history – that will ensure that the mintages are placed under huge pressure. Those mintages are, by any standard, minuscule. The Mint will issue no more than 40,000 of the 2010 2-Coin Unc Set, with the 2010 2-Coin Proof Set limited to an incredibly low mintage of just 25,000! Not to be issued for circulation and never to be found in change, the Burke & Wills $1 and 20c Proof and BU coins are destined to be among the lowest mintage Australian decimal types.

The perfect time to make sure your collection is graced by the presence of these individually eye-catching Australian commemoratives, these exclusive sets are both available at Official Issue Price.

■ Features the one-year-only 2010 20c and $1 commemoratives

■ Available in both superb Proof and exquisite BU quality

■ Exclusive! Just 25,000 Proof Sets and 40,000 Unc Sets issued!

■ Housed in official, informative, attractive presentation packs

The 2010 Wedding SetFIRST TIME IN PROOF QUALITY!

A presentation of the highest quality, forming a wedding or anniversary present of the highest order, this groundbreaking new issue is the first Wedding Set to feature coins struck to Proof standard!

An official issue of the RAM, the 2010 Wedding Proof Set comprises six official Australian legal tender 2010-dated coins – the 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, $1 and $2. Defined by the most exquisite of Proof quality, with detailed designs gracing flawless mirror fields, each of those coins is

distinguished by the classic design for its denomination. Beautifully presented in an enchanting, official pack, complete with a Certificate of Authenticity and a plaque for an inscription, the 2010 Wedding Proof Set represents a gift sure to delight any happy couple on their big day.

Arrayed with Australia’s

‘classic’ decimal coin designs, with

Stuart Devlin’s 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c and $1 united with Horst Hahne’s

$2, the 2010 Mint Set is destined to be one of the high-flyers in the RAM’s long-running, ever-popular series. Indicative of the general demand for collector sets featuring Australia’s six

established designs, the hotly pursued 2004

Mint Set has more than doubled in price, with the 1990 Mint Set

storming from A$15 to

A$150!

An essential acquisition for series collectors, and anyone

seeking genuinely Brilliant Uncirculated examples of Australia’s

current circulating coinage, the 2010 Mint Set is within the reach of all at the Mint’s Official Issue Price.

There is no better way to enjoy the artistic brilliance of Australia’s traditional decimal designs than when struck to the highest standards. The nation’s most important annual issue, the official RAM 2010 Proof Set gives you just that opportunity. A fine initiative by the Mint, sure to be appreciated by series collectors, each collection comprises six flawlessly struck coins. With sharply detailed, highly frosted designs set upon the most pristine of mirror fields, Stuart Devlin’s Echidna 5c, Lyrebird 10c, Platypus 20c, Coat of Arms 50c, Roos $1 and Horst Hahne’s

Indigenous Elder $2 look stunning in Proof quality. As with the Mint Set, the previous Proof Sets to bear Australia’s much-admired standard designs, issued in 2006 and 1990, are among the most sought after of the series. A great opportunity to secure the 2010 Proof Set at the Mint’s Official Issue Price, this luxurious presentation is housed in a superb, official RAM

case.

UNIQUE $1 TYPE! A PRESTIGIOUS GIFT…

Unparalleled in Proof…

An affordable, meaningful gift, the 2010 Baby Mint Set is also sure to be hotly pursued by those seeking to maintain a complete $1 collection. Not

to be issued for circulation and not found in any other set, the inclusion of a unique 2010-dated Australian $1 type makes this set a must-have! United with the 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c and $2 in an official pack with a 27mm colour medallion – both based on the Blinky Bill books – this unique 2010 $1 type bears a striking portrait Blinky Bill author, Dorothy Wall.

The perfect way to mark the arrival of the 2010 baby, this official RAM Proof Set is a gift that will be treasured forever. Comprising legal tender coins bearing the year-

date of birth, struck to the most rigorous quality, you could not conceive of a more impressive way to establish a permanent record of this most special event. Housed in a leatherette case with a Certificate, each 6-coin set (5c-$2) is united with a colour 40mm Blinky Bill medallion – perfect for the inscription of the new baby’s details!

THE AMAZING HARRY HOUDINI!

FATHER OF

AUSTRALIAConsistent with his predilection for terrifying, death-defying stunts, the legendary escapologist Harry Houdini amazed onlookers at Diggers Rest in Melbourne on the 18th of March 1910 when he flew his Voisin bi-plane on three separate occasions, thus

becoming

the first man to achieve powered flight in Australia.

One hundred years on, we can celebrate this momentous occasion in Australian aviation with the Perth Mint’s 2010 $1 First Powered Flight Centenary 1oz Silver Proof.

An Australian legal tender coin of great quality, this splendid 40.60mm .999 silver 1oz Proof is set in a case with a Certificate confirming the mintage of 7,500.

Superbly designed and flawlessly struck, this .999 silver

Proof marks the bicentenary of the appointment of Lachlan Macquarie as the fifth Governor of NSW in 1810.

Known as the Father of Australia, Macquarie could also be seen as the Father of Australian numismatics. The man behind the Holey Dollar & Dump, Australia’s first locally struck coins, Macquarie also oversaw the creation of the Rum

Hospital, where the Sydney Mint would be housed. Both numismatic icons are found upon this coin, united with words from a dispatch urging Britain to adopt the name Australia. An historic, eye-catching, exclusive Australian legal tender coin, each 40.6mm Silver Proof

is set in an official case with a Certificate confirming the mintage of 7,500.

THICKER THAN SOME!

Still at Official Issue Price!

As you can see, this high-relief coin is much thicker than your standard Silver 1oz. A huge 50% thicker! Marking the 2,500th anniversary of the inspiration for

the modern marathon (Pheidippides 25-mile run to Athens after

Greece’s victory at Marathon in 490BC), this Perth Mint coin has commanded the attention of collectors worldwide.

With the special high-relief strike creating incredible detail and depth in the design, this startling 32.60mm

A crucial opportunity for anyone seeking to assemble a complete

Famous Battles in History

collection, we still have the 2009 $1

Battle of Hastings and Battle of Balaklava 1oz Silver Proofs available at Official Issue Price! With limited stock of each remaining at the Perth Mint, and a sell-out inevitable, this cannot remain the case for long.

One of the hottest coin programs on the planet, the Famous Battles in History Series has been a truly outstanding success for the Perth Mint. The Battle of Thermopylae and Battle of Cannae issues sold out at speed, and we have just received news that the Battle of Gettysburg has likewise been devastated by

demand. Equally dramatic, equally desirable full-colour coins, the Hastings and Balaklava Silver Proofs are sure to be just as hard to find in the future.

$1 is set in a case with a Certificate. Mintage just 5,000!

Ned Kelly – hunted down!Even at the height of his infamy, Ned never had so many people after him! Hotly pursued by collector and non-collector alike, Australia’s most notorious bushranger can still be captured as a set of four legal tender silver Proofs – but you must be quick.

A memorable tribute to one of Australia’s most famous names, the 2010 $1 Ned Kelly Silver Proof Collection comprises four Perth Mint coins. A stunning fusion of high-relief Proof quality and

high-tech full-colour minting, each of those 1oz .999 silver coins is individually superb. Combining to form a lasting chronicle of Ned’s reign as Australia’s most wanted outlaw, the four 40mm coins look sensational united as one in a timber case with an historical booklet incorporating a numbered Certificate of Authenticity. Excellent value, particularly given the inclusion of a FREE Ned Kelly

Print, don’t miss the opportunity to secure this dramatic set at Official Issue Price. With initial demand so strong, and the mintage just 1,880, it won’t be an opportunity that lasts for long!

HONOURING THE ‘KING OF COINS’

GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY!

A distinctive addition to any collection, featuring a full-colour portrait of James Cook (1728-79), the 2009 $1 Cooks’ Cottage Silver Proof forms a fine tribute to an iconic Aussie building.

Complete! The Last Prefix Decimal Paper Note Collection!Scarce, symbolic, distinctive – and rising in market value – each Last Prefix Decimal Paper Note is highly sought after in its own right. Rarely available in such a comprehensive format, the COMPLETE Last Prefix Decimal Paper Note Collection is one of the finest acquisitions the Australian banknote collector can make.

The concluding chapter of a distant era of Australian currency, this important presentation represents the last prefix of the last print run of each of the decimal paper denominations. Comprising the Johnston/Stone DPS $1, Johnston/Fraser LQG $2, Fraser/Cole QPG $5, Fraser/Cole MRR $10, Fraser/Evans ADK $20, Fraser/Evans FAB $50 and Fraser/

Cole ZLD $100 notes, this desirable series is not only eminently historic – it is both genuinely scarce and packed with potential. All Last Prefix notes are hard-to-find in premium grade, with catalogue values rising relentlessly as a result. Indeed, inevitably priced at A$1,300 and beyond on the rare occasions it is offered to collectors today, the

complete Last Prefix Note Collection had a catalogue value of A$775 just five years ago!A wonderful opportunity for our clients, each Last Prefix paper note has been sourced directly from an original bundle. Not only your cast-iron guarantee of the finest Uncirculated quality, this also means we can offer the complete set in Consecutive Pairs!

Unique $1 DBP Test Note!

Unique in the decimal paper note series, the $1 DBP Test Note is important, scarce and highly sought after – especially in premium grade, as here.

In the mid-1970s, the RBA released one million $1 notes into circulation as a ‘test’ run, with each note distinguished by the prefix ‘DBP’. A majority of $1 DBP notes were

well used before this unique type was discovered, and of the tiny print run of just one million notes, a very small percentage remains in high grade. Your chance to secure this genuinely scarce note variety in the highest possible grade, we have the DBP $1 in Uncirculated quality – and in Consecutive Pairs!

THE FIRST AUSSIE DECIMAL NOTES!

Comprising some of the most highly sought after notes of the series, this desirable presentation includes an example of the very first issue of each of Australia’s decimal denominations – $1 to $100 – in superb Uncirculated quality!

An historic, comprehensive keepsake of Australia’s decimal paper series, the set is headlined by the four original decimal notes, issued in 1966 during the Coombs/Wilson signature

Among the most exclusive issues in the Australian note series, the special edition First Day of Issue Overprint notes from NPA are seldom seen on the market. For a limited time, we can give you the chance to own the complete $5-$100 collection!

A highly distinctive, official keepsake of the onset of the polymer revolution, each note in this collection carries the first signature combination for its denomination in polymer – as well as an overprint of the date the note was launched. Importantly, each note is distinguished by the First Prefix AND very low serial numbers, having been taken from

combination – the $1, $2, $10 and $20. The first Aussie $5, issued in 1967 during the Coombs/Randall signature combination, is also included and it, like the Coombs/Wilson quartet, is distinguished by the short-lived ‘Commonwealth of Australia’ banner. Issued in 1973 during the Phillips/Wheeler, signature combination, Australia’s first $50 is the highest cataloguing standard $50 note, and is hotly pursued in any grade. Issued under Johnston/Stone, the nation’s first $100 note

very early on in its respective print-run and then set aside by NPA. Extremely exclusive, each note is also defined by a strictly limited edition. The highest, that of the $10, is a tiny 49,000! When you consider that just 5,000 of the $100 were issued – meaning that only 5,000 complete sets can be assembled – it’s obvious why this unique presentation is so rarely offered in this form.Exclusive, historic and available in pristine Uncirculated condition, this sensational set includes five First Day of Issue banknotes…

Headlined by a stunning 20 gram .999 Gold Proof, and very exclusive with just 5,000 sets bound for the international market, this spectacular release from the Japan Mint pays homage to the 20th anniversary of the accession of the Emperor Akihito.

A groundbreaking issue, with a Japanese monarch never before honoured in this way, this exciting set is sure to be sought after worldwide. Japan’s 125th emperor, Akihito has made a significant effort to bring the monarchy closer to the people in his 20 years in power, and is a revered figure both at home and abroad.

A striking celebration of his influential

reign, the 2009 Accession 20th Anniversary Proof Pair comprises a 28mm 20g .999 fine gold Proof 10,000

Yen depicting the Phoenix,

united with a 26.5mm nickel-

brass Proof 500 Yen.

Beautifully presented within an official Japan Mint case with a Certificate of Authenticity, this prestigious pair will – like all Japanese commemoratives – be heavily oversubscribed.Although guaranteed an allocation as official distributor for the Mint, we fought hard to have that allocation increased to satisfy the inevitable demand for such a prestigious, significant presentation. With no hope of obtaining more stock, however, you must act now!

also in stock! A$175 US$125

Japan’s sensational Prefecture Series!

The equivalent to

the USA’s world-renowned State Quarters program,

the 47 Prefecture Series has proved, as predicted, a major success both in Japan and overseas.

Honouring the Niigata Prefecture

in an explosive fusion of precious metal and glorious full-colour, the latest of the Silver Proof Series is available at Downies!

A typically exquisite example of the Japan Mint’s mastery of full-colour minting, this new 40mm 1oz sterling silver Proof portrays a crested ibis, soaring above Niigata’s Sadogashima Island. Set in a Mint case doubling as a Certificate of Authenticity, we have secured a small number of this unique precious metal Proof from the mintage of 100,000 – of which just 10,000 will be allowed to leave Japan!

A unique, intriguing type, the third issue in the Japan Mint’s Prefecture 500Y Bimetal Proof Series honours the Shimane Prefecture.

Graced with a detailed design, this legal tender coin depicts an official Japanese archaeological treasure (a ritual bell from the

Yayoi period 500BC-300AD) found at the Kamo Iwakura site in Shimane’s Unnan City in 1996. Common to all issues in this sought after series, this 26.50mm type

also portrays a Yen coin. Exclusive, with no more than 3,000 coins allowed to leave Japan, we still have a limited number of this striking bimetal 500Y in stock – each in an official case with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Aussie champs – enshrined in

silver!

Sought

after by

motorcycle fanatics

and coin collectors

alike, this unique full-

colour legal tender

presentation forms a

stunning tribute to two

world-famous Aussie

superstars – Troy Bayliss

and Casey Stoner!

An official commemorative

release, fully endorsed

by the legendary Ducati

motorcycle company, the

2009 $5 Ducati World

Champions Silver Proof

Pair comprises two

superbly struck legal

tender coins.

Celebrating Ducati’s

Australian world

champions, Casey

Stoner (MotoGP

2007) and Troy Bayliss

(Superbike 2001, 2006 &

2008), each coin is crafted

to the finest Proof quality

from 20g of sterling silver.

Capturing these Aussie

world-beaters in full

flight, each silver Proof

coin is distinguished by

a dramatic design upon

its broad, crown-sized

38.61mm flan – each

beautifully enhanced with

a brilliant burst of ‘Ducati

red’!

Not only eye-catching,

the 2009 $5 Ducati World

Champions Silver Proof

Pair is also extremely

exclusive. Ensuring a

sell-out, the worldwide

mintage has been set at

a mere 1,000! With the

Australian allocation strictly

limited, and demand so

strong in the wake of Casey

Stoner’s sensational third

consecutive victory

at Phillip Island in

October, we have

just a few coins

remaining in

stock.

Beautifully

presented, the

Troy Bayliss

$5 Silver Proof

and Casey Stoner

$5 Silver Proof are

housed within individual,

officially approved Ducati

cases, each complete with

a numbered Certificate of

Authenticity. One of the big guns

in world motorsport,

achieving a remarkable

52 Superbike victories

in just 152 starts, Troy

Bayliss was triumphant

in the Superbike World

Championship with

Ducati in 2001, 2006

and 2008

Triumphant in

the 2007 MotoGP

championship in

his first year with Ducati,

and winner of three consecutive

MotoGP titles at Phillip Island

(2007-09), Casey Stoner is one

of Australia’s brightest stars
