Fifty cent 1985 - Not intended for circulation
The 1985 Royal Australian Mint proof coins set was presented in a clear acrylic case with blue folder used for protection.
Most years since 1966, the Royal Australian Mint has released a proof set containing proof examples of Australia's circulating coinage. Proof coins have a different and more refined manufacturing process than circulation coins. The dies are polished to give a cameo-like/mirror-like or matte finish.
The 5 cent coin was included in this set even if never made for circulation and this is the first time the proof sets include the dollar coin.
