Australia
NPA 1995 Annual Premium Red Serial Number Set
Governor - Bernard William Fraser
Secretary To The Treasury - Edward Alfred Evans
Australia 1995 NPA annual Premium full set (Red Serial Nos set). This is the second set of the series, after the first issue in 1994 which consists of the $5 and $10 notes. This set comes in three notes, $5, $10 and $20 and all printed with red matching serial numbers. A total of 1,000 sets were printed but as usual only 900 sets were released to the public with the remaining 100 sets retained by the bank's archive. These folder sets were sold separately but back then when you purchased them in full set you could request them with matching serial numbers. The original issue price for these folders were $50 for the $5; $65 for the $10 and $85 for the $20. Despite only 900 sets being made available to the public, the demand for these notes was not as good as compared to those Deluxe sets (black serial nos). Until now, you can still be able to find them selling at a fairly reasonable price. When it comes to demand for Premium sets, Australia does not always follow the rest of the world. Low quantity does not necessarily result in higher demand as collectors are looking for value for money and reasonable pricing too, like the Deluxe set. Based on what I have observed for many years, not many dealers are also willing to stock such products either, mostly due to poor demand by collectors or the lack of interest in such numismatic products.
The number one premium set was sold at an auction for $3,000. Proceeds from the sale were donated to a charity organisation.
