Whilst the Royal Australian mint was not in attendance, their presence was felt with this special limited mintage show release in support of ANDA.The one dollar coin was first minted in 1984 when the one dollar note was withdrawn from circulation. Since then, the one dollar coins has become a popular issue for numismatics.First featured on the British coinage of King Edward III, the privy marks were used as a secret mark to identify the period in which the coin was struck . In 1991, the Royal Australian Mint (the Mint)explored and modified this concept, allowing visitors to the Mint to strike their own ‘C’ for Canberra coin on the gallery press. Then in 1993, to share this experience with customer Australia-wide, the Mint too the mobile press to shows and fairs, striking the one dollar coin with a counterstamp to signify the location of the event as a souvenir.To this day, the Australian one dollar coin continues to be a world-renowned design from the Royal Australian Mint.
