Between 1995 and 2003 inclusive, The Royal Australian Mint issued a series of gold proof coins featuring the state flowers of each of the Australian states. Each coin is housed in a clear plastic capsule, and each set of nine coins is presented in an attractive solid wooden box.
Each of the two sets is identical in design. Only the diameters and weights are different.
Specifications
Please note Krause incorrectly states the $100 coins to be composed of 22 carat (.916) gold, and also mis-states the weights slightly. We have weighed samples of the individual coins on a highly accurate scale. The certificate with the $100 set states the coins to be of "24ct gold (99.9%)", and we are strongly inclined to believe the certificate is correct.Krause does state the $150 coins to be .9999 gold.
