| Additional information |
The Year of the Outback was a federally designated Australian initiative for 2002, aimed at drawing attention to the economic and cultural pressures facing remote and rural communities. The RAM issued this proof as part of that program — one of several commemorative pieces tied to the year, making the series broader than a single coin suggests.
KM#600a distinguishes the silver proof from the standard base-metal circulation strike catalogued at KM#600.
