| Additional information |
The Coringa Islets sit at the edge of Australia's Coral Sea Territory — an uninhabited, federally administered group with no permanent population and no economy. Coins issued for such territories exist almost entirely for the philatelic and numismatic trade rather than any genuine monetary function. This piece was pad printed rather than struck in full relief, a process borrowed from industrial surface decoration that allows photographic-quality color reproduction on metal blanks.
