Australian Dollar Coins - 1991 to 1995 Issues and Mintages
1991 to 1995 saw the beginning of the Aluminium Bronze mintmark coin designed specifically for the collector market. It also saw the continuation of the low mintage continuous reeding coin fair silver proof dollar releases. Key date coins to look for in this period are the 3 cased Barcelona proofs, with the AlBr cased proof and the silver coin fair cased proof commanding values of up to nearly $300 at retail level. The other coin fair silver proofs released from 1991 to 1995 have respectable catalogue values, whereas none of the mintmark AlBr dollars are hard to obtain nor are they very expensive.
The table below details each and every dollar coin released from 1991 to 1995. We've endeavoured to cover each way in which the coins were released, so for example, the same proof coin from one year may be available in a cased proof, the normal proof set, a coin fair proof set, and even a baby proof set!
