2009 p20 kookaburra series

[calandlew1]

Hi everyone,  can anyone tell me the difference between these two coins please?  I got these pics off a UK coin dealers website,  one is labelled as part of the p20 series,  one is labelled just as 2009,  they seem to both have the p20 Mark but I'd like to get the correct one as I'm collecting the p20 series,  did the perth mint issue two coins with p20 on?  Are they both the same?  Any help would be greatly appreciated, regards Chris

I'm going to take a guess.

I think in 2009 the P series was a restrike of all the coins so far and had previous designs but with 2009 as the date.

I will continue my guess that maybe they struck a 2009 and also a 2009 P as that was the year of the restrike set?

@motorbikez will know what's what.

Take a look at this link Chris,I think it answers your question. This is a set I don't have LOL

Yeah I already looked at that thanks mate,  it doesn't answer the question is they're a p20 version and standard bu version of that design,  as the mintage of the set(each coin is 10,000) and as we know a normal year bu is 300,000 or 500,000,  so does that mean that they're is just the one design and it is 10,000?  Sorry I'm confused lol

All 2009 bullion were P20

[calandlew1]

So my point is if the two coins are the same thing,  why is a dealer selling one £10 dearer than the other?

all kooks have a P stamped on them

The P20 serie has P20 stamped on them

[calandlew1]

Trouble is I haven't seen a 2009 that design without a p20 stamped on it lol

all kooks have a P stamped on them

The P20 serie has P20 stamped on them

2009 is the 20th anniversary and all have P20 on them.

Hi everyone,  thought everyone would like to know the outcome of this discussion as I contacted the perth mint to find an answer,  here is the email reply

[calandlew1]

So in conclusion,  they're were 310,000 coins minted of that design,  no different design was released for the p20 series, maybe I should forward that email to the coin dealers selling the coins one priced higher than the other?

They might just raise the price of the cheaper one.

But what does P20 actually mean?

 

Why didn’t the just use the standard P?
