| Additional information |
The First Fleet Bicentenary of 1988 was among the most politically charged commemorative moments in Australian history — celebrated by some, actively protested by Aboriginal Australians who marked January 26th as Invasion Day. The Royal Australian Mint's Masterpieces in Silver program packaged these dollars as premium collector sets alongside other denominations, targeting a gift market rather than circulation, which accounts for the consistently pristine condition most survivors show today.
The three-year date span reflects ongoing set production rather than any change in design or dies.
