George V archival silver proofs come with a solid reputation. They have been the choice of Australia’s leading collectors for more than half a century, and with good reason.
Archival proofs were struck at the Mint Master’s discretion to the highest quality standards as an historical record of the circulation strike and stored in Government archives for future generations. They are showpieces in every respect.
High rarity ranking
The original mintages were minuscule so the coins come with the highest rarity ranking.
