2025 225th Anniversary of Australian Proclamation Coins
Heritage, Craftsmanship & Emotional Legacy
In 1800, Governor Philip Gidley King issued a historic edict to end New South Wales’ currency crisis and establish Australia’s first official currency (the “holey dollar” and “dump”). 225 years on, The Perth Mint’s 2025 Anniversary Proclamation Coins honor this pivotal moment—tangible symbols of colonial resilience, connecting generations to Australia’s monetary heritage, and serving as a heartfelt tribute for collectors and history enthusiasts.
📜Historic Significance: A Tribute to Australia’s Monetary Birth
Honoring the 225th anniversary of Governor King’s 1800 proclamation— the turning point in Australia’s monetary history—these coins pay tribute to early settlers who created the nation’s first currency from Spanish silver dollars. A living link to colonial resilience and Australia’s financial origins.
