I think it was one of this series 1988 AUSTRALIA BICENTENNIAL MEDAL IN CAPSULE (https://www.noteworthy-collectibles.com/1988-AUSTRALIA-BICENTENNIAL-MEDAL-IN-CAPSULE)
A little information here...CCF thread (http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=121889)

Thanks Jeff but I had found that and they're not the same medallion but thank for trying, appreciate it :) They come in a set of six I think it was, they're hard to find anything on them.

AJ - is it worth contacting IS Wright (if you haven't already) and asking them? Presumably they would have done some homework to try and price the medal.
