About this Coin

Issued in 2005 as part of the Royal Australian Mint's "World War II Remembered" series, this classic $1 coin captures one of the most famous moments in Australian post-war history-the joy of the "Dancing Man" celebrating VP Day in 1945. While widely circulating at the time, finding examples today that have escaped commercial wear and retain full original mint bloom is becoming increasingly difficult. Sourced straight from long-term stored Armaguard® security rolls, this uncirculated specimen provides a crisp, high-lustre piece for date-run and $1 commemorative collection slots.
