1998 AUSTRALIAN $1 COIN

The $1 coin was first introduced on 14 May 1984. Its reverse side features an image of five kangaroos, designed by Stuart Devlin. This image is still used today, but a number of commemorative designs have also been released.

Planning for a $1 coin began in the mid-1970s. It was decided that Australia needed a higher value coin which could be used in coin-operated machines and replace the paper $1 note which wore out quickly due to its frequent use.

The $1 coin is made of 92% copper, 6% aluminium and 2% nickel. It is circular in shape and has an interrupted milled edge. It weighs 9 grams and is 25 millimetres in diameter.

These coins have been carefully lifted from circulation and safely stored in a private collection.

They are in excellent overall condition.
