1996 $1 Sir Henry Parkes “C” Mintmark Uncirculated Coin | Father of Federation | ROyal Australian Mint
Celebrate the legacy of Sir Henry Parkes, widely hailed as the Father of Federation, with this 1996 $1 Commemorative Coin, struck by the Royal Australian Mint in Uncirculated condition and featuring the exclusive "C" Mintmark (Canberra). This historic release is rapidly disappearing from the market and is a must-have for serious Australian coin collectors.
Why This Coin Matters: Sir Henry Parkes played a pivotal role in uniting Australia. Though late to embrace Federation, his 1889 Tenterfield Oration lit the spark that led to Australia’s unification. This coin marks 100 years since his passing in 1896 and honours his 50+ years of service to the nation.
💎 What Makes It Special:
⚠️ ACT FAST – DON’T MISS OUT! With a low mintage and rising collector demand, this coin is becoming harder to source—especially in uncirculated form with the prestigious "C" mintmark. Prices are steadily climbing in the collector’s market.
