They developed their own printing technology for mass production, nothing like the pad printing the Perth Mint uses. It wouldn't translate at all well to proofs. And if they pad printed them, they wouldn't look the same. So I very much doubt they would do such a proof. It just doesn't make a lot of sense when there are other things they can do which they can milk more out of.
