The NRL's "Moments That Matter" series was released ahead of the 2015 NRL season, with the Royal Australian Mint producing individual coins commemorating iconic plays and players from the competition's history. The gold-plated silver proof format was the premium tier of a multi-metal release, the same design issued simultaneously in base metal and standard silver — a tiered strategy the Mint had been refining through its sports commemorative program since the early 2000s.
Mintage for the gold-plated variants was tightly capped, consistent with RAM proof sport issues of this period, which typically ran under 5,000 pieces per subject.
