Never one to miss out on releasing a new product that no-one needs, the RAM is one-upping their 2012 AFL coin effort by releasing a range of coins to celebrate the recent AFL Premiership win by the Hawthorn Football Club. Right now they are releasing a standard aluminium bronze $1 Hawks coin and 1 ounce fine silver coin. Read more about the Hawks Dollar Coins here. You might see some news about this coin on the TV tonight (October 7th 2013).

Tis a pity that the Silver proof is not a 25 mm diameter coins otherwise I would buy it. Can't wait for the two Alum Br coins though........
