1988 Australia $10 Bicentenary First Fleet Silver Coin – 20g

The 1988 Australian $10 Bicentenary silver coin commemorates 200 years since the First Fleet’s arrival in 1788. Sailing ships and a landing scene fill the reverse, bringing a significant chapter of Australia’s colonial history to this Royal Australian Mint issue.

Raphael Maklouf’s portrait of Queen Elizabeth II appears on the obverse with the 1988 date. Struck in 20g of .925 sterling silver, the coin contains 18.5g of pure silver. Its maritime design and Australian $10 denomination make it a distinctive addition to a collection of Australian commemorative silver coins.
