1977 Royal Australian Mint Uncirculated Set - QEII 25th Jubilee - Purple Wallet (PVC Residue)

1977 Australian Uncirculated Six-Coin Set – Silver Jubilee (Housed in New Mylar Flips)

Celebrate the Silver Jubilee (25th Anniversary) of Queen Elizabeth II's accession to the throne with this official 1977 six-coin uncirculated set from the Royal Australian Mint. Bringing together the full circulating decimal coin range of the era, this historic issue is anchored by the popular commemorative 1977 50c coin featuring Stuart Devlin's iconic Silver Jubilee reverse design.

To arrest further vinyl degradation caused by the original 1970s PVC mint packaging, all six coins have been carefully disinvested from their original plastic wrapper and transferred into brand-new, archival-safe Mylar coin flips for long-term preservation.

Condition and Presentation Note

• Uncirculated Strike Quality: Coins remain in uncirculated condition, retaining sharp relief and original mint detail.
• PVC Residue Disclosure: As is common with vintage Royal Australian Mint sets from the late 1970s, storage inside the original vinyl mint packaging has led to varying degrees of green PVC residue and surface hazing across the coins.
• Archival Preservation: The coins have been permanently removed from the deteriorating original PVC plastic and are now safely housed individually inside fresh, non-reactive Mylar flips. Offered as-is as imaged.
