2005 $1 Dancing Man Uncirculated Coin in Full Colour PackDespite some arguments over the true identity of the 'Dancing Man', the few seconds of newsreel footage of a man dancing in the streets remains one of the most popular Australian images of World War II, the film captures a joyous jig on Elizabeth Street, Sydney during the celebrations at the end of the Second World War conflict of the 20th century.For most workers August 15, 1945 ended the war when news of the victory came through, with a Public Holiday called for that very day!For the 60the Anniversary of this magical moment, the Royal Australian Mint commissioned a $1 coin to be struck with the image of the 'Dancing Man'.Designed by Wojciech Pietranik, the reverse features a representation of the Dancing Man in the streets of Sydney, with the legend "World War 1939 - 1945 Peace".The obverse features the Queen's effigy by Ian Rank-Broadley.Specifications :Edge interrupted reeding.Denomination : $1Metal : Aluminium BronzeWeight : 9 grams.Diameter : 25mm
