One Dollar 2023 AFL - Melbourne Football Club, 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 is part of the AFL Collectable Coins Series issued by the Royal Australian Mint in partnership with Australia Post. The series features twenty coins - one for the Australian Football League (AFL), one for AFL Women's (AFLW), and eighteen coins each featuring a member club of the AFL. This coin features the Melbourne Football Club. The Australian Football League (AFL) is the pre-eminent and only fully professional competition of Australian rules football. It was originally named the Victorian Football League (VFL) and was founded in 1896 as a breakaway competition from the Victorian Football Association (VFA), with its inaugural season in 1897. It changed its name to Australian Football League in 1990 after expanding its competition to other Australian states in the 1980s. The Melbourne Football Club, nicknamed the Demons, is a professional Australian rules football club based in Melbourne. It is the world's oldest professional club of any football code. Its origins can be traced to an 1858 letter in which Tom Wills, captain of the Victoria cricket team, calls for the formation of a "foot-ball club" with its own "code of laws". An informal Melbourne team played that winter and officially formed in May 1859, when Wills and three other members codified "The Rules of the Melbourne Football Club" - the basis of Australian rules football. The club was a dominant force in the early years of the game and a foundation member of the Victorian Football Association (VFA) in 1877 and the Victorian Football League (VFL) in 1896, now the national AFL. $1 coins issued in 2023 have now been in circulation for only two years. | ||||||
