Comments

Released as a NCLT coin by the RAM in 1994 this coin commemorates 10 years of the $1 coin which was introduced in 1984 replacing the old $1 Note.

It was available with a "C" Mintmark at the Public Gallery Press at the RAM in Canberra & with "M" & "S" Mintmarks from the Mobile Press at the Royal Shows in Melbourne & Sydney respectively. See examples below for the ‘M’ & ‘S’ Mintmarked versions.

Two versions of the coin were struck in sterling silver, one with interrupted reeding and one with continuous reeding. They were issued in capsules in plush boxes.
