2025 $1 60th Anniversary of The Royal Australian Mint Uncirculated 4 Coin Set

The construction of the Royal Australian Mint commenced in 1963. This marked a new era in Australia’s history. Designed by architect Richard Ure, the project began with extensive excavation, which encountered solid stone at the basement level, ideal for secure vaults. The administration building featured Wondabyne sandstone and marble, with terrazzo columns and steps. The coin hall floor used end grain tallowwood. A unique feature in the construction of the Mint was a 12-ton vault door, installed before concreting. This feat of engineering was completed in just 62 weeks.
