| Additional information |
The Great Aussie Coin Hunt was a Royal Australian Mint circulation program that placed 26 alphabet-themed designs into everyday change beginning in 2019 — a deliberate strategy to drive public engagement after decades of declining coin handling among younger Australians. The campaign worked: collector demand stripped many letters from circulation almost immediately, and the mint issued silver proof versions precisely because the base metal releases were disappearing into folders and shoeboxes rather than tills.
KM#3649a is the silver proof variant of the "V" release, struck to .999 fineness at a weight nearly double the standard circulation dollar.
