January 10, 2012

The Australian one dollar coin is released each year with many different commemorative designs. The original standard design is the mob of 5 kangaroos by Stuart Devlin. These aluminium bronze coins weigh 9 grams and are 25mm in diameter. Some of these designs are struck in silver proof which are still the same size but differ in weight, the 99.9% silver being a heavier coin at 11.66 grams. All coins have interrupted edge reeding. All these legal tender Australian coins released have the obverse effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley.

Footnotes: * - These issues are currently in production so we would not expect confirmed mintage figures until the 2011/2012 RAM annual report released around October 2012. Final mintage numbers are usually found over 2 or more annual reports.
