I lived in Weipa and Cairns for 20 years. Wasn't collecting coins then but had a tin of old world coins from going on holidays in Europe ( way pre-Euro ) when I was living in Holland as a boy.

Believe it or not the tin is still at my mothers in Holland - will bring it to Ireland ( where I live now ) when I go over next.

Love the coin - Wowee !!

<< <i>mintage of 75 >>

Why so low? Was it meant for foreign dignitaries or some other official purpose???

The intial issue price of $1687 kept most collectors away, if Perth Mint could sell more they would have.
