10 Dollars - Elizabeth II 4th Portrait - Commonwealth Games - Gold Proof

Issued to mark the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games — the first time Australia had hosted the Games since Melbourne in 2006 — this piece comes from a broader RAM commemorative program that produced multiple collector releases tied to the event. The gold-plated silver format is a deliberate middle-market decision: the weight and purity of a full troy ounce silver coin, with surface gilding that mimics the premium appearance of a solid gold issue at a fraction of the cost.

KM#3557 is one of several distinct Commonwealth Games releases from the RAM that year, and attributing the correct variant requires attention to the specific reverse pairing.
