1985 $1 Coin - Uncirculated

Single uncirculated coin sourced from a Royal Australian Mint (RAM) roll or set. Supplied in a brand-new Mylar coin flip for protection.

• 1985 $1 Circulating Coin featuring the iconic "Mob of Roos" design.
• Struck to uncirculated standard in Aluminium-Bronze.
• Reverse design by Stuart Devlin featuring five bounding kangaroos, a design that has become the standard face of the Australian dollar.
• Obverse features the 3rd portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Raphael Maklouf.

Please Note:

• This coin is in uncirculated condition, meaning it has never been used in general commerce and retains its original mint lustre.
• 1985 was a significant year for the $1 coin as it was the first year to feature the Raphael Maklouf portrait, following the introductory 1984 issue.
• As is common with uncirculated coins, minor "bag marks" (small surface nicks from contact with other coins during the minting process) may be present.
• Please refer to the images for the exact condition; the coin you receive will be in a similar high-grade state to the one pictured.

About this Coin

Following the successful introduction of the $1 coin in 1984 to replace the paper note, the 1985 issue solidified the "Mob of Roos" as a staple of Australian pockets. While it has a high mintage of 96.2 million, finding examples that have been preserved in uncirculated condition is essential for collectors. This year is particularly noted by numismatists for the transition to the more "regal" Maklouf effigy of the Queen, which includes the royal diadem and jewelry not seen on the previous Machin portrait.
