This is a gold and bronze coin set released jointly by the Perth Mint and the Royal Austalian Mint. 

It contains one $100 gold coin weighing 10.021 gms (99.99% pure gold) and ten $5 Al Zn bronze coins weighing 20 gms each.

On one side the gold coin has the queens face and on the other someone holding a weath/flowers with "achievement" and "Sydney 2000" and the olympic symbol (the 5 interlocked rings), also depicting various sports along the outer edge. 
The mintage of the gold coin was 30,000, but this item with the booklet and gold and 10 bronze coins was LIMITED EDITION (only 2000 made)
This one is number 0089 of 2000. 

The ten bronze coins have the queen's head on one side and then swimming, archery, running, cycling, volleyball, esquestrian, judo/karate, shooting, sailing and hocky.

This set comes with the original booklet which has sports star profiles inside....some 30-40 pages (not numbered) of glossy print and photos. At the back is the official record of the games, who won what and also the country places. Australia came 4th. 

The coin set is also housed in this presentation booklet, inside protective cases (proof condition) and the whole booklet slips into a hard cover protective jacket. Beside a couple of small dings on the outside protective jacket, the booklet itself is in mint/proof condition.

The coins are PROOF condition. 

I FOUND THE FOLLOWING INFO ON THIS COIN SET. THE BRONZE COINS ARE FOR THE SPORTS THAT AUSTRALIA ACTUALLY WON GOLD MEDALS IN. HERE IS A SNIPPET OF WHAT I FOUND. IT WAS VALUED AT $1600 IN 2004 (7 YEARS AGO), AND SINCE THEN THE GOLD PRICE HAS MORE THAN DOUBLED.

Currently gold is at $1500 an oz, with predictions it will go to $3000 and maybe up to $6000 an oz soon, because the USA economy is not recovering. 

This collection is also a special collectors edition with only 2000 made for the Sydney 2000 Olympics.

Decorated MARBLE lidded trinket box, with card, gift from PRIME MINISTER of INDIA...Gandhi?

Item number: COL18052345

Price: $295

This is a fabulous MARBLE (not alabaster or soap stone) lidded box...inside it says it is made by "Marble Emporium P.B. No. 68", plus the name of some city "Agr**antt, India"...there was another sticker on the inside of the lid but it is mostly on the back of the card now, which reminds me there is a crad in the box which reads "With Compliments, from The Prime Minister of India, New Dehli, India." This card was glued oriiginally to the inside of the lid...you can see the bits missing off the marble lid match with what is on the card.

I would guess this dates back to the 1960s or 1970s, so it probbaly comes from Indira Gandhi, who was Prime Minister from 1966 to 1977, and then again from 1980 to 1984. Here is a link for the Prime Ministers of India.

The box is 11 cms x 8.8 cms x 3.7 cms.

Note, this is not a new item as the age shows on the marble...shows much character.

This is a lovely trinket box and would make a very special gift for someone very close. It is drapped in history and is just fabulous.

Overall I would say this item is in excellent condition, although some of the soap stone (ot whatever it is) decorations have fallen off and the previous owner coloured in the marble where a few bits are missing....you hardly notice.

This is a lovely round Art Deco Bakelite container/box with a lid. Classic Art Deco design with concentric circles and wood grain finish. This container came from a liquidation sale of an old antique shop in Subiaco Perth.

In excellent condition...no cracks or chips.

The size of the container is 10 cms diameter x 8.5 cms high.

Printed on botton inside a small cicle is "3/4"...on the inside it has "C.M.C." inside a small circle.

Two old insulators...one aqua coloured. No. "6" made by AGM, and one amethyst made by AGEE ("30"). They stand about 19 cms tall and are in excellent condition.

A lovely bakelite card case or divided trinklet box...in excellent condition...very Art Deco in design...and with mother of pearl inlay on top. The size of the box is 16.5 x 12.5 x 5 cm.

A lovely McWilliams bakelite ashtray...in excellent condition,,,was released in 1977 to celebrate 100 years of brewing. The ashtray is approximately 11 cms x 15 cms.
