Cieśnina Bassa znajduje się między Australią a Tasmanią. Wyprawa Bassa i Flindersa udowodniła, że Tasmania jest wyspą. Podczas podróży w 1798 r. żaglowcem "Norfolk", Bass i Flinders opłynęli wyspę Tasmanię, ustalając, że w rzeczywistości jest ona oddzielona od głównej części Australii. Wyprawą dowodzili George Bass i Matthew Flinders. Cieśnina została nazwana na cześć Bassa, a wyspa w Cieśninie Bassa została nazwana na cześć Flindersa.

The RAM released this coin into general circulation to commemorate the Bicentennial of the discovery of Bass Strait. The coin was included in the Proof & BU sets & Baby Proof & BU sets for 1998.

It was also released in a very popular PNC by Australia Post on 10/9/1998. (82,004 Copies)

3,000 special overprinted copies of the PNC were issued at the Sydney ANDA coin show also.

A special release of the coin was done by Note Printing Australia in a limited set of banknotes and coins. (1,000 Copies)

The Bass Strait sits between Australia and Tasmania. Bass & Flinders's expedition proved that Tasmania was an island. During the voyage in 1798 in the sailing boat the "Norfolk", Bass and Flinders circumnavigated the island of Tasmania establishing that it was in fact separated from the main part of Australia. George Bass and Matthew Flinders were leading the expedition. The Strait was named after Bass and an island in the Bass Strait is named after Flinders.
