Struck from 2oz .9999 gold!

To secure this coin, you must place your order by phone – an order placed by any other method will simply be too late.

PLUS A REAL DIAMOND!

WORLDWIDE MINTAGE JUST 60 COINS!

Struck from TWO TROY OUNCES of pure .9999 gold, and highlighted by the inclusion of a real diamond, this astonishing work of precious metal minting is undoubtedly Australia’s most prestigious tribute to the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II – and the most exclusive. To be enjoyed by a truly privileged band of collectors, the mintage has been restricted to just SIXTY coins!

A bold, striking Australian legal tender coin, and one of very few 2oz .9999 fine gold commemoratives issued by the Perth Mint, the 2012 $200 Diamond Jubilee 2oz Gold Proof is a majestic crown-sized coin. Measuring 41mm in diameter, the expansive flan provided a broad canvas for Perth Mint designer Darryl Bellotti to work his magic, and he has used every millimetre

to create the most memorable tribute imaginable.

The recreation of the first numismatic portrait of Elizabeth II, designed by Mary Gillick for the Queen’s first coinage in 1953, is simply stunning – given new life by the sharpness and clarity of the Mint’s rigorous Proof strike. The genuine diamond, surrounded by an explosion of sunrays, completes a most fitting celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Queen’s long reign – the second longest in the 1,000-year history of the English/British monarchy!

Given the importance of the landmark, the beauty of the design, the fact that it was struck from 2oz of pure .9999 gold – AND the extraordinarily low ‘anniversary’ mintage – it barely needs stating that a record-breaking sell-out seems inevitable. With a mere SIXTY coins in existence, and our allocation therefore tiny, we cannot emphasise strongly enough the need for an early order – by phone.

If you send your order by mail, or even email, you will miss out. Call us today on 1300 788 358, and guarantee supply of one of the most important, most prestigious coins ever issued in Australia.

The Road to Federation – The road to Australian nationhood was indeed a rocky one, and the transformation of a starving, ramshackle penal colony into a thriving, independent, united nation is one of the most fascinating chapters in Australian history. Unique, historic and, with just 2,500 issued worldwide, very exclusive, this affordable collection celebrates some of the most crucial, most famous characters who inspired that transformation.

Icons of Australian history…Whilst Australia’s progress from a collection of disparate colonies to a united nation can be attributed to many factors, there is no doubt that key individuals played an absolutely essential part in the attainment of national unity and the development of a distinctive Australian national identity.

From political leadership to exploration, from the discovery of gold to the performance arts, from agricultural development to literature, the Australian nation was built through contributions in a great diversity of fields, and by a wide array of individuals who are still household names today. Genuine icons of Australian history,

Arthur Phillip, William Bligh, Joseph Banks, Matthew Flinders,

Elizabeth Macarthur, Peter Lalor, Edward Hargraves, Ned Kelly, Banjo Paterson and Nellie Melba are all honoured in this stunning full-colour coin collection.

Genuine Aussie halfpennies – plated in gold!Enshrining an array of the most important characters of Australia’s colonial period in legal tender, this new release comprises ten genuine predecimal halfpennies – struck during the reign of King George VI. Finished in genuine gold, each George VI halfpenny bears a full-colour design of one of the aforementioned colonial luminaries upon the 25.50mm diameter flan, with each design protected by a layer of clear enamel.

A fine presentation…Enabling the full enjoyment of this historic presentation, each 10-coin collection is housed within a black case, and is accompanied by a detailed information booklet. Outlining the story of each of the iconic colonial figures celebrated in the set, the information booklet is also individually numbered, attesting to the strictly limited edition of just 2,500.

JUST 2,500 SETS ISSUED!

A limited window of opportunity! Given the tremendous affordability of the Road to Federation Gold-plated Halfpenny Collection – available at an average price of less than A$10 per full-colour coin! – the limited edition of 2,500 is surprisingly low. Given the fame of the Australian icons to which it pays homage, this historic presentation is sure to be targeted by a broad cross-section of the community, and we therefore highly recommend an early order.

■ An eye-catching tribute to the key characters of colonial Australia

■ Extremely exclusive, with just 2,500 collections issued

■ Comprises ten gold-plated Australian King George VI halfpennies

■ Set in a case with an informative, individually numbered booklet

■ Sensational value-for-money at just A$99 – less than A$10 per coin!

Finished in genuine gold, and featuring a full-colour design upon the reverse, each coin in this value-for-money presentation is a genuine Australian predecimal halfpenny struck from 1938 to 1952 during the reign of King George VI

Australia’s Official Diamond Jubilee Tribute!

Whilst sure to be sought after for the purity, the strictly limited availability and the stunning full-colour design, this flawless precious metal Proof from the Perth Mint is simply a must-have for the thousands of people seeking to acquire an official Australian commemoration of the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.

An official Australian legal tender tribute, struck to the pinnacle of Proof quality from a troy ounce of .999 fine silver, the broad 40.60mm frame is dominated by a brilliant depiction of one of the most famous portraits of Her Majesty. An inspired work by Australian artist Sir William Dargie, known as the ‘wattle painting’, the Perth Mint’s full-colour recreation of this distinctive masterpiece is absolutely perfect. With the reverse also incorporating Her Majesty’s signature and personal emblem,

one could scarcely conceive of a finer keepsake of this major landmark in British history.

Beautifully presented in a plush, official Perth Mint case, set within an outer box adorned with Dargie’s portrait of the Queen, each official Australian legal tender issue is also an exclusive, strictly limited edition. The numbered Certificate of Authenticity that accompanies the 2012 $1 Diamond Jubilee 1oz Silver Proof confirms that the mintage has been set at 7,500, and given the current global demand for all Diamond Jubilee commemoratives, a sell-out seems all but inevitable. Guarantee supply at the Official Issue Price!

MINTAGE 7,500 – SELL OUT CERTAIN!

Overwhelming demand!We knew that interest in Britain’s official Diamond Jubilee £5 would be huge, but even we were shocked by the staggering demand. Our not insubstantial allocation was wiped out

in days, and we have had to rush back to the Royal Mint to secure more stock!

An apt tribute to the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty’s accession to the throne, this imposing £5 Crown is highlighted by a majestic one-year-only portrait of the Queen – undoubtedly one of the finest works of portraiture to appear on a British coin. The reverse is an inspired version of the original Mary Gillick portrait of the Queen, adorned with foliage as a direct reference to the Diamond Jubilee medals of Queen Victoria – the

only other English/British monarch to celebrate 60 years in power.

A permanent, affordable record of this momentous occasion in British history, the 38.61mm 2012 £5 Diamond Jubilee BU is set within an official Royal Mint pack.

The legendary Mayflower…The third issue of the Ships that Changed the World Series, the 2012 $1 Mayflower 1oz Silver Proof has just been launched by the Perth Mint! A stunning tribute to one of the world’s most celebrated vessels, this outstanding precious metal Proof may well be the most sought after of the entire series – in large part due to its naturally strong appeal to American audiences.

Transporting English puritans fleeing religious persecution from Plymouth in England to America in 1620, the Mayflower is one of the most powerful symbols of European colonisation of the US. Following a harsh first winter, and the outbreak of

disease that killed half of the approximately 130 passengers and crew, the survivors who made Plymouth Massachusetts their home are recognised as the earliest permanent European settlers to New England. A fine tribute to this iconic element of US history, the 40.60mm flan of this new .999 Silver Proof bears a fully struck-up depiction of the Mayflower in full sail, set against a full-colour backdrop.

With the 2009 $1 Famous Battles Gettysburg Silver Proof sold out in a flash, there seems little doubt that US interest

in the Mayflower tribute will see the mintage of 5,000 placed under extreme pressure. A must-have for those keen on assembling the complete 5-coin set, we have secured only a small allocation of coins – each set in an

official Perth Mint case united with

a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

THE FIRST IN THE SERIES!

Centenary in Silver!

MINTAGE JUST 5,000!

A fantastic opportunity to begin building the complete Ships that Changed the World Series, we have the first two issues in stock

Notable for the Proof quality, superb presentation, limited availability AND the inclusion of Australia’s first 34mm .999 silver $2 coin types, the 2011 Masterpieces in Silver Collection marks the

100th anniversary of the Royal Australian Navy.

A fine addition to the RAM’s premier annual silver series, the 2011 Masterpieces

– honouring Christopher Columbus’ Santa Maria and Sir Francis Drake’s Golden Hind.

Among the most famous vessels in maritime history, these legendary ships are superbly depicted upon the broad 40.60mm flans of these flawless .999 fine silver 1oz Proofs. Extremely exclusive, with the mintage

in Silver Collection forms an apt tribute to our seafaring warriors. Comprising six 20.28g .999 silver Proof coins, this sparkling set honours a variety of the vessels used by the RAN over its 100-year history, with the HMAS AEII, HMAS Australia II, HMAS Hobart II,

restricted to just 5,000, each coin is set within a plush Perth Mint case, complete with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

HMAS Yarra III, HMAS Sydney III and HMAS Armidale II all featured. Sure to appeal to militaria buffs and maritime enthusiasts, the presence of the RAM’s first 34mm .999 silver $2 types

makes this a must-have for

traditional coin collectors.

Complete with detailed, informative individual Certificates of Authenticity, each limited edition 6-coin set – mintage just 10,000 – is housed in a plush case, and then set in a beautifully illustrated outer box

Celebrating HMAS Australia

The latest in one of the hottest legal tender programs on the planet – and a release particularly relevant to Australian collectors – we are absolutely delighted to be one of few dealers worldwide in a position to offer the majestic, imposing 2011 $10 HMAS Australia 2oz Silver Proof.

Appropriately, given that the Royal Australian Navy is celebrating its centenary in 2011, this dramatic legal tender tribute honours one of Australia’s key battleships – HMAS Australia. A grand Kent-Class cruiser, spanning nearly 21m in width and 192m in length, HMAS Australia

served the nation with distinction during WWII. First seen in action in 1940, the battleship was subsequently used as an escort in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, before taking part in several battles in the Pacific Theatre of War. Surviving the war, the ‘Aussie’ as she was known, was decommissioned in 1954.

Struck from TWO TROY OUNCES of .999 fine silver, and featuring a detailed depiction of HMAS Australia upon its 42mm x 42mm flan, this gold-plated diamond-shaped coin was always assured a rapturous reception. With its predecessors, honouring such

maritime military icons such as the Yamato, Missouri, Bismarck, Richelieu and Vittorio Veneto, all sold out at super speed, this new release was destined to trigger huge interest – and so it proved. The tiny worldwide mintage of 1,000 was simply overwhelmed by a tidal wave of demand.

We urge you to get your order in early. Although we fought tooth and nail for an increased allocation, knowing that demand for this unique military commemorative

in Australia would be huge, we have a small number of coins available. As with its predecessors in this highly sought after series, a sell-out is guaranteed.

Fields of Gold…Superb when struck to Proof quality, the 2012 20c and $1 coins form a highly symbolic tribute to the crucial role of the wheat industry in Australia’s national development.

United within an official RAM case, the unique,

one-year-only 2012 20c and $1 commemoratives

are beautifully designed. The

new 2012 20c carries a simple, yet effective wheatsheaf design, whilst the RAM’s

new Wheat $1 is distinguished

by a stylised depiction of a harvester in one of Australia’s ‘Fields of Gold’ – motifs that instantly catch the eye when struck to the highest possible Proof quality.

Given the quality, the importance and the affordability of this historic release, the 2012 2-Coin Proof Set is surprisingly exclusive, with the mintage restricted to just 25,000.

GOLD-PLATED GLORY!

The first to feature a selectively gold-plated coin, and the first with a pre-determined mintage, the new 2012 Proof Set is surely destined to

be among the most sought after issues of the Royal Australian Mint’s 1966-2012 Proof Set Series.

Underpinned by the Australian legal tender status, the exquisite Proof coins and the colourful, official packaging, there is no

doubt that this collection will be pursued for the traditional qualities of the series. Crucially, interest will be driven by one very particular feature – the very first selectively gold-plated coin to appear in this key annual issue.

A breathtaking example of the latest in modern minting, the fully struck-up Australian Coat of Arms 50c design instantly catches the eye when precisely finished with pure gold. United with the 5c, 10c, 20c, $1 and $2 within an official leather wallet with a RAM booklet, this spectacular

one-year-only 50c type will be the key to demand for the 2012 Proof Set – and to the long-term potential of this strictly limited edition release.

With the mintage of the 2012 Proof Set restricted to just 50,000, it is apt to consider the fate of the only other Proof Set to include a 50c enhanced with a special treatment – the 2000 Proof Set. That set had a mintage of 64,904 – nearly 15,000 more than the 2012 set! – and is valued at A$300+! Secure the 2012 Proof Set at Official Issue Price!

Features unique $1 type!Featuring a unique $1 type, a new pack and a new Aussie theme, the 2012 Baby Mint Set represents the birth of a new era for one of the RAM’s key annual issues.

Comprising coins carrying the year-date of birth, the Baby Mint has, since 1993, proved a popular way to celebrate the arrival of a baby. Popular with collectors as well, the new 6-coin (5c-$2) BU set is sure to be as sought after as its predecessors – largely

due to the unique 25mm Al-Br $1 type. Depicting Ethel C. Pedley, author of the classic Aussie tale Dot and the Kangaroo on which the 27mm full-colour medallion is based, this type will not be issued for circulation and will not be found in any other set!

A must-have for those seeking to maintain a complete collection, this unique $1 is united with the 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c & $2 in a vibrant new Dot and the Kangaroo pack.

Proof is not only notable

for the unparalleled size

and weight.

Enhanced with the

world’s favourite precious

metal, with the portrayal

of the Presidents Cup

trophy precisely finished

in genuine 24-carat gold,

the RAM has created a

truly memorable tribute

to this key international

sporting event – and an

exclusive one.

Housed in an official RAM

case with an official RAM

numbered Certificate of

Authenticity, the mintage

has been restricted

to an amazingly low

1,500 coins – with

very few to remain

on Australian

shores. With a huge

percentage of the

mintage destined for

the US and Europe, the

2011 $10 Presidents

Cup Selectively

Gold-Plated 5oz

Silver Proof will be

available for a short

time only.

Whilst an affordable

opportunity for all

Australians to honour

this major international

sporting event, the 2011

$1 Presidents

Cup Al-Br BU

is crucial to

decimal

collectors.

Why? Because,

as this coin is not

to be issued for

circulation, and will

never be found in

change, this unique

25mm Australian

legal tender type is a

must-have for those

keen to preserve a

complete collection!

Within the reach of

all collectors at the

Official Issue Price of

just A$14.85, each

coin is presented in

an official pack.

TINY MINTAGE!

NOT ISSUED FOR

Whilst Australia’s entire military history is underpinned by the Anzac Spirit – courage, mateship, self-sacrifice and irreverent humour – these unique qualities were in abundance at the crucial WWII campaigns of Tobruk and Kokoda.

Official Australian legal tender issues, struck to Proof quality from 1oz of .999 silver, the 2012

$1 Kokoda Silver Proof and 2011 $1 Tobruk Silver Proof are compelling tributes to the brave Aussie diggers that took on the Axis Powers during these legendary military engagements. Measuring 40.60mm, the Kokoda coin depicts an Australian serviceman in WWII jungle kit, with the Tobruk tribute distinguished by a striking portrayal of an Aussie digger in the

uniform worn during the Western Desert Campaign.

Still available at Official Issue Price, each coin is set in an official case, complete with a Certificate of Authenticity attesting to the mintage of 5,000.

2011 50c BUSH BABIES KOALA 1/2oz SILVER

PROOF 1/


Perfect as a Christmas or Lunar New Year gift, the Perth Mint’s new 2012 50c Baby Dragon 1/2oz Silver Proof is sure to be subject to the same astonishing

demand thus far witnessed

for all 2012 Year of the Dragon

issues.

Struck to Proof quality from 1/2oz of .999 fine silver, and bearing a lovely, caricature-style design of a baby dragon, this unique legal tender type is a stunning illustration of the Perth Mint’s world-renowned full-colour minting

techniques.

Dominating the near crown-sized 36.60mm diameter flan, the blazing red and yellow hues of the Baby Dragon contrast brilliantly with the silken, Proof quality mirrored field. A fine presentation, each coin is set in a Perth Mint case in a beautifully illustrated ‘ready-to-wrap’ outer box, complete with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

That Certificate confirms the extremely limited availability of this enchanting precious metal Proof. Refusing to take advantage of the barnstorming demand seen for all Year of the Dragon issues, many of

which have sold out in days, the Perth Mint has set the mintage at a surprisingly low 7,500 – all but guaranteeing a sell-out.

With demand naturally expected to be very strong, our allocation of the 2012 50c Baby Dragon 1/2oz Silver Proof has been tightly restricted. Order early, and guarantee supply of this exquisite full-colour .999 fine silver Proof at the Mint’s affordable Official Issue Price.

Sold out at the Perth Mint!

LAST OF THE SERIES!

A rare, unexpected opportunity, Downies is proud to announce that a rigorous search of the secondary market has enabled us to secure just enough stock to offer two of the coins from the Perth Mint’s incredibly successful Bush Babies Silver Proof Series!

One of the standout collector programs of 2011, the 50c Bush Babies 1/2oz Silver Proof Series generated extraordinary interest across the globe. Genuine Australian legal tender issues, struck from pure, prestigious .999 silver, the exquisite

designs and spellbinding employment of full-colour ensured record-breaking sell-outs, with the 5,000-coin mintage of each release simply devastated by demand.

Set within an official case with a numbered Certificate, we have just a few examples of these sought after coins in stock, and a limit of one per household must apply.

The Bush Babies PNC Series has been one of the biggest hits of the year, and there’s no doubt that the last issue in the program, celebrating the Baby Kangaroo, will maintain the success of the program – largely due to the Perth Mint’s Roo $1!Set in a card, housed in an

envelope carrying an Australian $1.65c stamp, the 30.60mm 2011 $1 Kangaroo Al-Br BU bears the same design as the 2011 50c Bush Babies Kangaroo Silver Proof – sold out at the Mint in a flash. Whilst a compulsory acquisition for those aiming to complete their Bush Babies PNC set, this PNC is a must-have for anyone who missed out on that hugely popular precious metal coin.

Spectacular Surgeonfish!

JUST EIGHT COINS IN STOCK!

SAVE A HUGE 60%!

Part of the Perth Mint’s Sea Life I Series – one of the most popular recent collector programs – the 10,000-coin mintage of the 36.60mm 2010 50c Clownfish 1/2oz Silver Proof was devastated by demand. Rarely offered and rising in value, we have managed to reel in eight examples of this key Australian legal tender coin – each in an official case with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity. Immediate action a must!

No time to clown around!

A fantastic opportunity for

our clients, we have the RAM’s Ocean Series 2006 $1 Clownfish coin at a

massive 60% off the current

catalogue value! No longer available

at the RAM, and very exclusive with a mintage of just 29,743, the 25mm Clownfish $1 is valued at A$25. Set in a capsule, the lack of official packaging

means we are willing to smash the price of this

unique Australian legal tender by an extraordinary 60%! SAVE OVER A$15!

An official legal tender coin, highlighted by the unusual combination of an extremely low mintage and surprisingly low retail price, we have been lucky enough to hook a small allocation of this spellbinding full-colour tribute to the Clownfish! Struck to Prooflike quality from cupro-nickel and finished in precious silver, this one-year-only type features a vibrant full-colour design of the Clownfish upon its crown-sized 38.61mm flan. The ideal complement to any of the coins on this page, the 2011 $1 Clownfish Silver-plated Prooflike is also notable for the enchanting obverse design – a design that is ONLY found on Palau’s 2011 Clownfish issue!

Given that the retail price is so affordable – less than A$25 apiece! – it is remarkable that the mintage has been restricted to just 5,000 coins worldwide. Despite our best efforts, the expectation of a sell-out has ensured that our allocation is tiny. Act now!
