Looks like Numista has the more consistent figures.

The two $1 coins in the set are not coloured and won't be given out in the Woolworths tills. You can only get them in the set. That being said when the last similar set was issued this way in Woolworths, the 2018 Commonwealth Games set,There were four NCLT $1 coins included. When the promotion was over they ripped the remaining sets apart and threw the NCLT $1 coins into the tills. I got a few in change that way.

What's With The 2019 $1 Coins With Two Different Effigies

The fifth Effigy as shown above is actually the sixth Effigy or 6th Portrait. although the Vladimir Gottwald 5th Effigy did not ever appear on a 5 cent coin due to it being a one off on the 2000 Royal Visit 50 cent.

I know it is confusing but the effigies go like this.

Gillick - 1st portrait of Queen Elizabeth II facing right wearing a laurel

Machin - 2nd portrait of Queen Elizabeth II facing right wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara

Makleouf - 3rd portrait of Queen Elizabeth II facing right wearing the King George IV State Diadem

Rank-Broadley - 4th portrait of Queen Elizabeth II facing right wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara

Gottwald - 5th portrait of Queen Elizabeth II facing right wearing the Girls of Great Britain & Ireland Tiara.

Clark - 6th portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II facing right wearing the King George IV State Diadem and the Victorian Coronation Necklace.

Not sure if you guys have ever seen this coin it is a beauty with all 6 portraits as used on Australian coinage of Queen Elizabeth II. It is the reverse of a Tokelau $5

Numista now have pages for all banknotes including Australian ones. They introduced the banknote section earlier this year after a lot of discussion.

2016 'C' Changeover $1

I know someone who went to the event where they were actually available. They lived in Canberra at the time and picked up two of them for me. They estimated that there were about 250 people there at the time wanting to get the coin. Estimates I have heard was that about 600 were actually issued. That is the mintage figure shown on Numista. They are rare as hens teeth and cost a fortune on Ebay. If the RAM actually made 5,000 of them they must be hiding the other 4,400 somewhere.

I'll go half way and say OK, Australia came up with the alphabet idea but UK came up with the idea of making it fun to collect and not just for the uber-rich.

When they first came out they were only $15 per coin and the RAM did a discount if you bought the whole set of 26. I did buy all 26 of the 2015 ones but gave the 2016 & 2017 ones a miss as they were just the same coin with a different date. You are right thought they are very expensive to get hold of now.

Actually the one with the "C" is a Mintmark, the others "[B], [M] & [S] are privymarks.

2020 Coin Found In Circulation

Hi Guys - The Numista page for the JC $1 MOR has been updated with the 2020 Circulation coins, part mintage of 329,000. I haven't seen one in circ yet myself but the RAM report reckons they have been made.

As to the 2020 50c they have mentioned in the RAM report at 90k mintage it says IRB portrait? That must be a mistake surely?

I would add as a very hard to find circulating coin is the 2016 5 cent changeover coin. Only 4.8 million minted and I have never seen one in circulation. Someone must be hoarding them. This one is a lot rarer than the 1972.

Quote: Genius idea from Oz IMO.

Quote: Actually genius idea from UK and pilfered by Oz. The UK A-z coins came out in 2018, the Oz in 2019.

Actually the Poms pinched the idea from Australia who did it with the set of Animal Alphabet coins released in 2015,2016 & 2017. Although those ones were NCLT.

If you think those ones are expensive have a look at the coloured $2 Mars coin out of the Planetary set. They go for ridiculous prices on ebay. $900 for an ungraded one and $2000 for a slabbed MS70.

They came in a set of 10 coins that went for $160 when they were released in 2017. The sets are selling for $1350 to $1550 at the moment.

Hi Guys - I can answer what happened here. I am the referee for Australian coins on Numista and I added all of these Supercars 50cent coloured coins the other day. It was just a simple error on my part in selecting the wrong checkbox when submitting that coin. It has been fixed now and all is good. The coin is definitely Non-Circulating. One of the members on here pointed it out to me.
