2012 PNC - Australian Men's Open

2012 Australian Open Tennis Stamp and Coin Cover (PNC) Australia Post Issue 3 – Royal Australian Mint

Overview This 2012 PNC celebrates the rich history of the Australian Open, the only Grand Slam tennis event held in the Southern Hemisphere. First contested in 1905 at the Warehousemen's Cricket Ground in Melbourne, the tournament has evolved from a grass court event to a premier hard court competition following its move to Melbourne Park in 1988.

Coin Details The cover features a $1 uncirculated coin struck by the Royal Australian Mint. The design honours the centenary of the tournament’s competition years, marking the 100th occasion the event has been contested since its inception, accounting for interruptions during world wars and scheduling changes.

Stamp & Presentation Included is a commemorative Australian stamp cancelled with an official First Day of Issue postmark. The illustrated envelope provides a detailed narrative of the tournament’s journey and remains a prized collectable for both sports fans and numismatists.
