A lot of detail in those, probably why it had to be a 10oz - but at that size I struggle to call it a coin without laughing. Its a big cameo, or a small round bar with engraving. Also why does it still say Kookaburra on the rim when they are nowhere to be seen?

They are not all coloured,the evolution of numbers and the alphabet are definitely not coloured I had a few bids on them last year.

 

In a way i'm glad I never won them or that would be another set i would be compelled to buy.

I'm quite liking them - would be good to see a photo of one though!

I collect them and view them as mini works of art,you can see fantastic detail without a glass.

That is exactly what I would treat them as. And they do look like they'd be really nice even from the drawings. 

 

Seeing the other side also explains why they have  "Kookaburra" on there
