2020 50c Supercars 1991 Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R Coin & Stamp Cover PNC.

The international Group A regulations came into full effect in Australia from 1985 until 19992, and the Nissan Skyline GT-R dominated the era.

Driving on all four wheels and featuring an incredibly powerful turbo-charged 2.6-litre-six-cylinder engine with 465kW of power, it's no surprise that this GTR was nicknamed "Godzilla" on the circuit. It was also the reason for the 1993 rule changes and the introduction of the V8 formula we now know as Supercars.

Jim Richards, the easygoing Kiwi expat, earned a reputation as one of the best touring car drivers of all time. 

Richards won his fourth ATCC title in eight years in 1991 at the wheel of the GT-R two-door coupe, with teammate Mark Skaife coming in second in the same model Nissan.

Issued as Australian legal tender, the uncirculated cupro nickel coin is housed in a beautifully designed card with a circular window revealing the coin's reverse and obverse designs.

The stamp and coin cover features an illustrated envelope featuring the 1991 Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R. It also includes an Australian $1.10c commemorative stamp and is post marked First Date of Issue 23 November 2020, Bathurst NSW 2795.

The coin's obverse features the Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the 2020 year-date and the monetary denomination.
