Australia is venturing to the Moon! An Australian-designed and constructed rover is set to join NASA’s Artemis program in the latter half of the 2020s. This rover, developed by local industry and universities, aims to showcase Australia’s expertise in remote operations. In celebration of Australia’s significant contribution to space exploration, the Royal Australian Mint presents a comprehensive collection. This includes a four-coin set featuring coins with the C mintmark and [B], [M], and [S] privymarks, six different coincards with four distinct counterstamps (C), (B), (M), and (S), and the C mintmarked coin in a PNC. Additionally, the Royal Australian Mint issued $1 Silver Proof and $10 Gold Proof coin.
