A Tribute to Australian Ingenuity
This limited-edition set commemorates the Snowy Mountains Scheme—one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in Australia’s history. The reverse designs feature detailed depictions of dam and tunnel construction, reflecting the scale and innovation of the Snowy Hydro project.
Each coin’s obverse bears the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, paired with finely executed frosted finishes that enhance the intricate reverse artwork. Struck from 99.9% pure silver, the set offers both aesthetic appeal and intrinsic bullion value.
With only 20,000 sets issued, this release remains tightly held and increasingly difficult to source. Its combination of low mintage, historical theme, and precious metal content makes it an appealing option for collectors and silver buyers alike.
Housed in protective capsules and presented in an official display box, this set includes a numbered Certificate of Authenticity—ideal for display, gifting, or long-term storage.
Secure a tangible piece of Australia’s industrial legacy with this 1999 Snowy Mountains Scheme silver coin set—where history, craftsmanship, and bullion value meet.
Note: Stock may include items sourced from the secondary market and display box may show minor signs of handling.
