In 2007 to celebrate The Ashes in Cricket, the Royal Australian Mint released a very special Limited Issue Ashes $10 Ten Dollar Gold Proof Coin struck in solid fine .9999 Gold weighing one-tenth of an ounce of pure Gold.
The reverse designed by W. Pietranik depicts the famous Urn flanked by the English Lion and Australian Kangaroo.
The obverse has the stunning portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank Broadley.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
