1997 PNC - Sir Donald Bradman, including a Bi-Metal 5 Dollar Coin (Aluminium-Bronze centre in Stainless Steel ring).

"The Don is acclaimed as being the greatest achiever in any competitive sport during his cricket career spanning over 25 years in the 1920's-1940's. Known to be the greatest batsman of all time Donald George Bradman was born August 27th, 1908, and passed away peacefully on February 25th, 2001, aged 92 years."

Mintage: 275,000

Interestingly, the majority of these releases contain a spelling mistake. In the second paragraph on the back, "Australia Day" is spelt as "Austraila Day".

When initially discovered by Australia Post, they reissued a version with the correct spelling, though to date, I have yet to actually see one of these, with all I have encountered having the spelling mistake.

This means that if you come across one of these releases with the correct spelling, it could be worth quite a bit more.

Some wear to the covers.

Please note: they do not include a plastic PNC cover.
