2009 Year Proof  Twin Coin  Set - International Year of Astronomy

To celebrate the International Year of Astronomy in 2009, the Royal Australian Mint has released its outstanding two coin proof and uncirculated sets. The event, backed by the International Astronomical Union and UNESCO, has a theme of ‘The Universe, Yours to Discover’. Produced to complement the 2009 6 coin year sets, the twin sets make available the coins that aren’t available through the 6 coin sets. The 20 cent Proof coin features an image of star-gazers against a starchart backdrop, representing the many thousands of amateur astronomers in Australia. This coin is paired with our $1 mob of roos standard design in a proof finish. The packaging for these sets is vibrant and eye-catching; these would make a wonderful gift for family and friends.
