Comments

(en) This $5 NCLT coin was issued by the RAM to commemorate a significant event in Australian history, the Bicentenary of European settlement in Tasmania. The coin was issued in a large square coincard inside a large square slipcase.

The Bicentennial Year also marked the previous explorations of Dutch, French and British explorers, which led to permanent settlement in 1803 - 1804. The (H) counterstamp is included on the reverse design to recognise that the coin was specifically minted for Hobart. Coins that were minted in Hobart on the RAM's Mobile Press have a shallower counterstamp (2,841 Copies).

A Fine Silver (.999) Proof version of the coin was also released without the (H) Counterstamp.
