Jest to alternatywna moneta pamiątkowa NCLT Sir Charles Kingsford Smith (nieobiegowa) znana jako wersja "Small Head". Została ona wydana w formie składanej karty na różnych pokazach królewskich w australijskich miastach stołecznych przez cały rok. (Zobacz przykłady)

Wydano również "podwójny zestaw", który zawierał zarówno monetę NCLT "Small Head", jak i obiegową monetę Kingsford-Smith "Large Head".

Urodzony w 1897 roku Sir Charles Kingsford-Smith był pionierem australijskiego lotnictwa. Jest najbardziej znany w Australii z pierwszego przelotu nad Pacyfikiem z Australii do USA, ustanowienia rekordu prędkości z Australii do Londynu wynoszącego 10,5 dnia oraz z zaginięcia podczas próby ustanowienia kolejnych rekordów. Jest ikoną australijskiej historii, a jego niebieski samolot Fokker Tri-Motor, Southern Cross, jest równie dobrze znany w kulturze popularnej.

Srebrna wersja tej monety o próbie Fine Silver (.999) została również wydana w kapsule w pluszowym kwadratowym pudełku.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

This is the alternate NCLT Sir Charles Kingsford Smith (Non-Circulating) Commemorative coin known as the "Small Head" version. This was released in a folding coincard at various Royal Shows in Australian Capital Cities throughout the year. (See Examples)

A "Dual Set" was also released that contained Both this NCLT “Small Head” & the Circulation "Large Head" Kingsford-Smith coin.

Born in 1897 Sir Charles Kingsford-Smith was an early Australian aviation pioneer. He is best known in Australia for making the first Pacific crossing from Australia to the USA, setting a speed record from Australia to London of 10.5 days, and for disappearing while attempting to set yet more records. He is an iconic figure in Australian history and his blue Fokker Tri-Motor aircraft, the Southern Cross is equally well known in popular culture.

A Fine Silver (.999) version of this coin was also released in a capsule in a plush square box .
