1999 Proof Set

In 1992 the United Nations adopted the Proclamation on Ageing which urges the international community to reach out to every generation and all sections of society to recognise the needs and concerns of older citizens. The commemorative $1 coin, incorporated in this six coin Proof Set, was struck to mark the United Nations’ designation of 1999 as the International Year of The Older Person, with its adopted theme in Australia as ‘Towards a society for all ages’.
