You may have a "Proof" coin or some other coin that has been specially treated during minting. Proof coins are minted on specially prepared and highly polished dies so that you get the "very shiny" effect. One other effect common on Australian Proof coins is that the raised images are often "Frosted", which gives a more striking visual effect. If the coin is still in its original condition and packaging, it will be worth about $10 AUD.
