One Dollar 2001 Centenary of Federation, Coin from Australia - detailed information
| ||||||
The one dollar coin denomination (written as $1) was introduced in Australia in 1984, replacing the earlier banknotes. The original definitive type featuring five kangaroos has not been changed since its introduction and is still issued regularly. Apart from the regular design, the Royal Australian Mint issues a large variety of circulating commemorative one dollar coins which have the same specifications and circulate in parallel with the definitive type - such as this one. This circulating commemorative one dollar coin marks the Centenary of Federation of Australia and incorporates the Centenary of Federation logo. It was designed and sculpted by Wojciech Pietranik. In 2001, Australia released a series of coins to commemorate the Centenary of Federation. There were nine different designs for twenty cent coins and ten different designs for fifty cent coins which marked the occasion - one each for the six states (New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia), the two territories (Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory) and for Norfolk Island, plus a common "Australia" fifty cent design. There was only one $1 coin though. No regular (Mob of Roos) one dollar coins were released in 2001. Coins issued in 2001 have now been in circulation for 24 years. | ||||||
