1996 $1 Sir Henry Parkes Silver Proof - Left Handed Coins and Banknotes

This set represents the annual release by the Royal Australian Mint of Australia's circulating coins. The 1996 Mint set pays tribute to Sir Henry Parkes, regarded by most Australians as the 'Father of Federation. Imposing in stature and a fiery orator, Sir Henry Parkes is a central figure in the history of Australian politics. Although he died five years before Federation in 1900, Parkes was one of the most vigorous and eloquent advocates for the Commonwealth of Australia.
