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 dollar coin is part of the The Great Aussie Coin Hunt 2 campaign - a series of 26 different $1 coins where each features a letter of the English alphabet and an Australian symbol starting with that letter. The coin for the letter O features one of the most recognisable buildings in the world, the Opera House in Sydney. O is for the opulent (Sydney) Opera House - sitting as one of the pride and joys of the stunning Sydney Harbour in New South Wales. The remarkable feat of architecture and engineering by Danish architect Jørn Utzon is now visited by almost 11 million people a year. The Opera House boasts seven venues and performance spaces that have staged unmissable experiences for all audiences including in recent years world orchestras such as Staatskapelle Berlin in the Concert Hall and contemporary band Florence and the Machine on the outdoor Forecourt. | ||||||
