A beautiful example of the 1981 Royal Australian Mint $200 Royal Wedding Gold Coin, issued to commemorate the marriage of HRH The Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer on 29 July 1981.
Struck by the Royal Australian Mint in Canberra, this substantial Australian legal-tender gold coin contains 10 grams of 22 carat (.916/.917) gold, equivalent to approximately 9.17 grams or 0.2948 troy oz of pure gold.
Unlike many examples now offered simply as loose bullion coins, this example retains its original Royal Australian Mint blue presentation wallet together with the original information inserts, making it particularly attractive to collectors.

Importantly, the actual coin being offered is pictured undergoing verification on my Sigma Metalytics Precious Metal Verifier.
