1998 Australian Bass & Flinders Proof Coin Set- Bicentenary 50c

Featuring the 50c coin design honouring the bicentenary of the discovery of Bass Strait by George Bass and Matthew Flinders in 1798.

The proof quality coins in this set reflect this dedication. Each coin is struck from hand-polished dies, using specially prepared blanks. The finished product is a coin with a mirror-like flat surface complemented by a delicately frosted raised design. Once minting is complete, all dies are destroyed.
