2003 Australian Bushrangers Coin Collection

source: downies.com

The collection of four .999 fine silver full-colour $2 coins honours Australia’s most famous Bushrangers – Ned Kelly, Ben Hall, Mad Dan Morgan and Captain Thunderbolt. Perhaps the highlight, the Ned Kelly $2 Proof bears one of the most recognisable images in Australian history.

Struck by the Perth Mint and by popular consensus one of the Mint's finest examples of colour minting, this new limited edition release offers all collectors a fantastic opportunity. The Australian Bushrangers Proof Coin Collection, comprising four large 50.3 mm two ounce pure silver coins, honours the most colourful characters of Australia's wild colonial days. Combining the lure of Australia's vivid Bushranger history with the attraction of the best features of modern numismatics, there seems little doubt that the tiny worldwide mintage of 2,500 sets will sell out rapidly. An extremely “marketable” coin collection, the strong theme is just one of a wide array of features.
