The Royal Australia mint produced this fine silver $1 proof coin to acknowledge with pride the Centenary of Australian coinage.
Following Federation and the establishment of our first constitution, the Commonwealth Government set about creating a unified national currency to replace the system inherited from England and in 1910 the first Australian silver coins were issued. Signifying Australia becoming an individual nation, the threepences, sixpences, shillings and florins helped our nation to emerge from dependence on the British.
The One dollar fine silver proof coin is a legal tender collector coin struck by the Royal Australian Mint to the highest minting quality.
Limited mintage of 12,500 coins.

The reverse also has the 'C' mintmark for Canberra .
