The first Australian commemorative coin of the decimal era, with only 550,000 Specimen Strikes minted.
A specimen strike is better quality than a Circulation Strike, but not the same painstakingly high quality of a Proof strike. A special mint set strike usually has one or more of the following characteristics:
- Special handling of the blanks and planchets.
- Special preparation of the coining die.
- Special handling of the finished coin to minimize scratches and imperfections.
