Jest to srebrna (próba 999) wersja próbna alternatywnej monety pamiątkowej NCLT Sir Charles Kingsford Smith (moneta nieobiegowa). Jest ona znana jako wersja "Small Head" dwóch różnych monet pamiątkowych Kingsford Smith. Została ona wydana przez RAM w kapsule wewnątrz pluszowego niebieskiego etui.



Urodzony w 1897 roku Sir Charles Kingsford-Smith był pionierem australijskiego lotnictwa. Jest najbardziej znany w Australii z pierwszego przelotu przez Pacyfik z Australii do USA. Następnie ustanowił rekord prędkości z Australii do Londynu wynoszący 10,5 dnia i zniknął 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.

This is a Fine Silver (.999) proof version of the alternate NCLT Sir Charles Kingsford Smith (Non-Circulating) Commemorative coin. It is known as the "Small Head" version of the two different Kingsford Smith Commemorative coins. It was released by the RAM in a capsule inside a plush blue case.



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. Then 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.
