Comment

To commemorate the bicentenary of Australia and the 200 years of progress between 1788-1988, a series of medallions were released by the Australian Bicentennial Authority (ABA). Known as the Australian Bicentenary medallions, five different designs were introduced. These were sold either in sets or individually in acrylic cases.
