I'm not a big PNC collector, but I do like numismatic related PNC's and this one (http://www.prospectstampsandcoins.com.au/2013-centenary-of-the-first-commonwealth-banknote-stamp-and-coins-cover-pnc.html) caught my eye in an e-mail from Prospect Stamps & Coins. It's a joint release from the RAM and Perth Mint and the design is beautiful and certainly in keeping with the theme.
Quote from: Prospect Stamps and CoinsThis stamp and coin cover features two coins that have been released by the Royal Australian Mint and the Perth Mint, as well as a copy of the ten shilling banknote.
The coins included with this cover are as follows:
Royal Australian Mint 20c uncirculated coin
Perth Mint $1 Bronze uncirculated coin
along with the coins are two stamps produced by Australia Post which are 60c and $2.60 stamps
I think I might just get this one.
Is this a standard sized $1 coin or one of them weird big buggers ?
a picture really helps, will see what I can do..

From what I can ascertain the 20 cent coin is from RAM so should be a standard type coin :good: and the $1 is a Perth mint oversize coin :stinker:
Is the 20 cent coin available separately ?
hmm, I know you can get it part of the 3 coin packaging too! that's the one I went for cos there essentially the same price, so why not get 3 coins for value, instead of one coin and a token.

tho they were sold as the 3 coin individual on cards and packaged in an envelope format as a set as such, a quick ebay search you can find people selling them individual if you just want to buy the one coin.
I have one and love it

Jeez.. How to turn 90 cents into thirty bucks without really trying... how long before we're paying $100 each for these things I wonder? :(
I cannot afford these the mint set is cost way too much
A really confusing issue :(
