Own this exceptional, PCGS graded PR67DCAM example of the 2003 Australian $1 coin, commemorating Australia's Volunteers.

This specific coin is housed in its official holder with PCGS Certification Number 81100897. A PR67DCAM (Proof 67 Deep Cameo) grade from PCGS signifies an exceptional proof specimen with deeply frosted design elements that create a dazzling contrast against highly reflective, mirrored fields. The "Deep Cameo" designation is a visual premium, indicating an extremely strong "black and white" three-dimensional effect between the matte motif and the glossy fields.

The coin features a unique reverse design by Wojciech Pietranik, showcasing a stylised spiral roll that symbolises the shape of Australia. This particular version is the pad-printed colourised edition, featuring a vibrant green and gold map of Australia, which was exclusively released by the Royal Australian Mint within proof sets rather than for general circulation. The obverse displays the 4th portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley.

With a limited mintage of just 39,090 as part of the 2003 Six-Coin Proof Set, this colourised $1 coin is a highly sought-after commemorative piece. While millions of standard aluminium-bronze volunteer dollars were struck for circulation, this colourised proof remains a premium choice for serious collectors due to its distinctive artistry and superior strike quality.
