In 1988 the Royal Australian Mint produced it’s first 5 dollar coin commemorating the opening of New Parliament House in Canberra. Celebrating it’s 25th birthday this year with the release of Australia’s first triangle shaped Parliament House silver proof 5 dollar coin we look back at the coin that brought new blood into collecting.
Three million of these uncirculated aluminium bronze 5 dollar coins were commissioned and distributed by the Commonwealth Bank at face value in 1988 in celebration of the opening of New Parliament House. They were issued in 2 types of similar packaging, a sealed cellophane type (seen here) and a pvc flip. Because they were so easy to obtain from your local Commonwealth Bank branch and quite special at the time these were collected and talked about sparking interest in collecting that has spanned decades.
To celebrate the opening of the Parliament House on 9th May 1988, the Royal Australian Mint struck Australia's first $5 coin.
The reverse of this aluminium/bronze uncirculated coin features the architectural achievement of the new Parliament House, designed by Mitchell/Giurgola and Thorp.
Each coin comes sealed in the original Commonwealth Bank pack with informational insert.
