The 1991 Royal Australian Mint Mint Set commemorates the 25th Anniversary of Australia’s conversion to decimal currency, a milestone moment in Australian history remembered by generations.
On 14 February 1966 – “C-Day”, Australians began returning pounds, shillings and pence to the banks and embracing the new system of dollars and cents. This commemorative Mint Set honours that landmark transition which reshaped everyday life across the country.
Set Highlights:
Official Royal Australian Mint annual issue
Commemorates 25 years of decimal currency (1966–1991)
Presented in original RAM Mint Set packaging
Coins struck in Uncirculated condition
End of an Era:
This set also marks a significant turning point in Australian coinage history, as it includes the final issue of the 1 cent and 2 cent coins struck for circulation.
With these denominations withdrawn shortly after, the 1991 Mint Set represents the close of Australia’s small-change era, making it especially appealing to both historical and decimal collectors.
