Robert O'Hara Burke and William John Wills are legendary historical figures of colonial Australia. The first European settlers to cross the Australian continent from south to north, their triumph turned to tragedy when both men died on the return leg.
Struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver in proof quality, this 150th anniversary commemorative is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965. No more than 7,500 of these coins will be released.
