The HT Monaro — produced from 1969 to 1971 — was Holden's answer to the muscle car moment, built on the Kingswood platform and offered with the 186S or the 308 V8 that made it genuinely competitive with American iron arriving via grey imports. The "60 Years of Supercars" series used pad printing rather than conventional relief colouring, a process that deposits ink directly onto the struck planchet and allows photographic-quality colour reproduction at the cost of long-term durability.
