Australian Gold Plated Sterling Silver Stamp Collection – 1988 Bicente
$3,500 Negotiable
Australian Gold Stamp Collection – 1988 Bicentenary
Mint proof condition.
25 Australian stamps superbly minted in gold-plated sterling silver, this Australian collection represents the spirit of our nation over the last 200 years, plus a handmade leather presentation case, plus a book in matching leather. It marked the last two hundred anniversary of European settlement in Australia. This is a unique collection minted in Australia in 1988. That's when I purchased it.
The Australian Collection, issued under the authority of Australia Post, to commemorate Australia’s Bicentenary in 1988, by Hallmark Diemasters & Engravers Pty Ltd is limited to 10,000 sets, of which this is set No 2087. My information is that sales did not reach anywhere near this number – word has it that only around 3,500 were actually sold.
A perfect opportunity for you to own a collection of Australian stamps, gleaming proof struck in solid silver and plated with 24 carat gold known as “The Australian Collection”.
The set comprises 25 gold plated solid silver proof condition replica Australian stamps featuring 25 iconic Australian stamps over the past 140 years.
Each ingot varies in size and weight, is a substantial 2.2mm thick, and is the same outer size as its original paper stamp counterpart. Highly polished proof quality, hand struck in solid sterling silver, plated with 24 carat gold.
Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and a handmade green soft quilted leather presentation case with gold embossing and highlights. Rear of each stamp is stamped with “The Australian Collection” and “.925 silver HF” to authenticate them.
Included with the collection is a lockable (key missing), gold embossed leather case inlaid with velvet, with a handmade horn lifting spatula, plus a 224 page special edition of 'Spirit of a Nation' quarter bound in matching leather, with raised spine bindings, and hand tooled gold leaf titles. A special jeweller's cloth is also supplied for handling the replicas.
