Commemorative coins are hoarded out of circulation, but non-commemoratives are rarely set aside at the time of issue. The result? Non-commemoratives become increasingly scarce in Uncirculated condition. One of Australia’s original decimal coinage denominations, bearing a portrayal of the exotic platypus, the 20c is no exception to the rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAn incredible and seldom seen opportunity to create a complete collection in an instant, this is your chance to secure a strictly Uncirculated example of EVERY date in the 1966-2025 20c Platypus Series! This includes the very first 20c, the Queen Elizabeth II Machin Portrait 1966 20c, the first Maklouf Portrait 20c (1985), first Rank-Broadley Portrait 20c (1999) and first Clark Portrait 20c (2019). It also includes the first Charles III 20c (2024), carrying Daniel Thorne’s splendid portrait of the king.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe collection is arrayed with a spectacular array of key, sought after dates. Along with the scarce, low-mintage issues such as the 1985 20c (2.7 million) and Clark 2019 20c (2 million), the collection includes the one-year-only ‘obverse commemorative’ 2016 Decimal Currency 50\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e Anniversary 20c. In addition, it encompasses an astonishing TEN not-issued-for-circulation dates – 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1994, 1995 \u0026amp; the last Elizabeth II 20c, struck in 2023. Only issued in Royal Australian Mint collections, and never to be found in change, all ten not-issued-for-circulation 20c dates are distinguished by tiny mintages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTrying to assemble this extensive 61-coin 20c collection from circulation would be a pointless exercise. It is simply impossible. Even if you could secure all these coins from change, they would not be in strictly Uncirculated quality – as here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWith a limited number of sets available, you must not miss this mouthwatering opportunity to create a complete collection in an instant.
