2017 $1 Sydney New Year's Eve Coloured Fine Silver Frosted Uncirculated Coin

At the stroke of midnight on 31 December each year, Sydney Harbour is transformed into a wonderland of fireworks and light as Sydney becomes one of the first major cities in the world to welcome in the New Year.

As the fourth release in the Sydney New Year's Eve Coin Series, this stunning design is sure to be popular with collectors, New Year's Eve revellers and tourists.

Originally set against the backdrop of the Harbour Bridge, Sydney's New Year's Eve (NYE) fireworks, music and light displays now extend to the Opera House and much of Sydney Harbour.

First televised in 1996-97, the event is now enjoyed by millions of people each year as they await the arrival of the New Year in their own part of the world.
