Australia 1988 $5 Parliament Silver Proof Coin
type: Product
description: Representing a major landmark in Australian currency history, we are delighted to present the nation’s first ever $5 coin – struck from sparkling silver! Struck by the Royal Australian Mint, the 1988 $5 Parliament Silver Proof Coin is a must-have for every collection. Underpinned by exquisite Proof quality, and crafted from a whopping 35.79 grams of sterling silver, this key coin was issued to commemorate the opening of Australia’s then new Parliament House in Canberra. The nation’s new seat of government was launched in Australia’s bicentennial year, 1988, and was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II on May the 9th. Spanning an imposing 38.63mm in diameter, the broad, crown-sized flan forms the perfect venue for the depiction of the Parliament buildings – a design created by Australian numismatic master craftsman, Stuart Devlin. An official Australian legal tender issue, the obverse is distinguished by the portrait of Elizabeth II by Raphael Maklouf.
