Australian One Dollar Coin
This is a standard circulation Australian one-dollar coin, first introduced in 1984 to replace the one-dollar note. The coin's reverse side, shown here, features the iconic 'Five Kangaroos' design by Stuart Devlin. The coin is composed of 92% copper, 6% aluminium, and 2% nickel, giving it its characteristic golden-bronze hue. It measures 25.00 mm in diameter and possesses a thick, interrupted reeded edge. The strike on this particular specimen appears well-defined on the high points of the kangaroos' fur and muscles. In terms of condition, the coin displays moderate signs of circulation, including fine surface scratches, small 'bag marks' or dings on the field, and a slight darkening of the metal due to oxidation and handling. There is visible wear on the rim and the highest points of the embossed design, suggesting it has been in active use for several years. The overall craftsmanship reflects the high-volume precision of the Royal Australian Mint. Based on the aesthetic and wear, it represents a common yet quintessential example of modern Australian numismatics.
