2011 The Presidents Cup - $1 Fine Silver Colour Printed Proof Coin

Mintage 7,500

One of very few crown-sized 1oz Silver Proofs issued by the RAM in recent times, this official 40mm legal tender tribute to the 2011 Presidents Cup will be targeted by traditional Australian collectors as much as golf fanatics seeking a permanent memento of one of the sport's most prestigious international events.
Beginning in 1994, the Presidents Cup comprises a series of matches that sees the best golfers from the USA take on an elite international team. The event is hosted alternately by the USA and by a country represented in the international team, and in 2011, the Presidents Cup will be held at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club – Australia's oldest golf course, and one of the world's best. In response to an international order, the RAM has released a variety of coins to commemorate the 2011 Presidents Cup – including this stunning full-colour silver crown!
Struck to immaculate Proof quality from a troy ounce of .999 fine silver, this official Australian legal tender coin is distinguished by an outstanding reverse design. Superbly rendered in full-colour, the official logo of the 2011 Presidents Cup dominates the expansive 40mm diameter flan, with an intriguing dimpled golfball motif providing the perfect backdrop.
Even if the entire mintage of 7,500 was available to Australian audiences, the broad appeal of this coin would ensure a sell-out. As it is, the majority of that mintage – and the majority of the mintage of every 2011 Presidents Cup coin – will be spirited away to the European and US markets. With few coins set aside for Australian collectors, you must not miss this exclusive opportunity!
