About this Coin

The 1986 "Peace Dollar" holds a special place in Australian numismatics as the first time the one-dollar denomination was used for a commemorative design. Proclaimed by the United Nations, the International Year of Peace was celebrated in Australia with this iconic imagery of a dove and olive wreath, symbolising a commitment to global harmony. With a mintage of 25.2 million, it is a staple of many collections; however, finding roll-fresh examples that retain their original mint lustre is a priority for collectors looking to upgrade from circulated "pocket finds."
