Mintage Information: The 1990 $1 coin is one of the most significant "Mint Set Only" dates in the Australian decimal series. Its mintage is strictly tied to the annual collector sets produced that year:

• Uncirculated Mint Sets: 106,218 (standard sets).

Please Note:

• This listing is for the coin only, supplied in a protective Mylar flip.
• It does not include the original 1990 Mint Set folder or the other coins from that year.
• As an "ex-set" uncirculated coin, it typically displays a higher quality of lustre than coins found in common change.
• Images are representative of the coins available; all examples are in a similar high-grade uncirculated condition.

About this Coin:

The 1990 $1 coin is a "holy grail" for collectors of the dollar series because it was completely withheld from circulation. This means that every example in existence originated from a broken-up RAM set. Because it is a key date required to complete any standard $1 collection, individual uncirculated specimens are highly sought after by "gap-fillers" who do not wish to purchase the entire 8-coin set.
