About this Coin

The 1988 Bicentenary dollar is one of the most culturally significant releases in the Australian decimal series.

Issued to commemorate 200 years since the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, the design was a deliberate move by the Mint to acknowledge Australia's original inhabitants.

The Indigenous-style kangaroo motif became an instant classic and remains a favorite among collectors. With a mintage of 21.6 million, while common in circulation, examples preserved in this uncirculated condition are essential for collectors looking to represent the Bicentenary year in its best possible light.
