A sensational innovation on the part of the Royal Australian Mint, enabling collectors to secure the two key 2010 commemorative coins in one hit, the new 2010 2-Coin Sets have just been unveiled!

Honouring one of Australia’s most famous missions of exploration, these new 2-coin sets commemorate the Burke & Wills Expedition of 1860. Established to travel from Melbourne in the south to the Gulf of Carpentaria in the north, the ‘Victorian Exploration Expedition’, as it was known, set off in search of knowledge, wealth and inhabitable land for the fledgling colony of Victoria. Although ending in tragedy, with seven of the 19-strong party, including Burke & Wills, dying on the expedition, this bold attempt to cross the Continent has become synonymous with the pioneering spirit upon which the Australian nation has been built.

Available in Brilliant Uncirculated quality, these sparkling new sets from the RAM represent a fitting tribute to the 150th anniversary of the incredible achievements and great determination of the men who undertook this journey into the unknown. Sure to be hotly pursued by non-collectors, with Burke & Wills among Australia’s foremost ‘household names’, these sets are crucial to decimal collectors. The only way you can obtain the 20c and $1 Burke & Wills commemorative coins, with neither being issued for circulation and neither found in the 2010 Proof and Mint Sets, these new 2-coin presentations are essential to anyone keen to maintain a complete decimal collection.
