This Two Coin One Dollar Set was issued in this 1997 twin coin folder. Both coins commemorate the exploits of Sir Charles Kingsford-Smith. One of the coins (Large Head) was also issued into circulation but the one with the “C” Mintmark (Small Head) is NCLT.
Born in 1897 Sir Charles Kingsford-Smith was an early Australian aviation pioneer. He is best known in Australia for making the first Pacific crossing from Australia to the USA, setting a speed record from Australia to London of 10.5 days, and for disappearing while attempting to set yet more records. He is an iconic figure in Australian history and his blue Fokker Tri-Motor aircraft, the Southern Cross, is equally well known in popular culture.
The set was issued in a twin coincard.
