1988 Holey Dollar & Dump – Silver Proof Coin Pair

The 1988 Holey Dollar and Dump Silver Proof Coin Pair is a modern tribute to one of Australia’s earliest and most recognisable currency types. Struck in .999 fine silver, the pair recreates the historic combination of an outer “Holey Dollar” and inner “Dump”, reflecting the ingenuity of Australia’s colonial monetary system.

The Holey Dollar contains 1 troy ounce of fine silver and features detailed engraving around the central aperture, with inscriptions confirming its silver content and 1988 issue. The Dump contains ¼ troy ounce of fine silver and displays a stylised dual‑figure motif with matching 1988 and purity markings. Together, the two pieces form a complete commemorative set that mirrors the original concept of repurposed Spanish dollars.

This proof‑finish pair appeals to collectors interested in Australian monetary history, themed silver issues, and historically inspired designs. Galaxy Coins provides trusted sourcing for commemorative silver sets, supporting collectors seeking authentic and well‑presented precious metal pieces.
