1984 First Elizabeth II $1 & 2023 First Charles III $1 Al-Br Coin Pair

A crucial acquisition for every collector, this limited edition set unites the FIRST Australian $1 coin of Queen Elizabeth II with the FIRST Australian $1 coin of her son and successor, King Charles III!

A key landmark in currency history, the first Elizabeth II $1 was also Australia’s first $1 coin. Replacing the $1 note due to greater durability and cost-effectiveness, the first $1 coin was issued in 1984, and unites the first decimal portrait of the queen by Arnold Machin with Stuart Devlin’s Mob of Kangaroos motif. Importantly, this is the only issued Machin portrait $1, rendering it an utterly unique type!

The first Charles III Australian $1, this crucial type is also graced with Stuart Devlin’s iconic Mob of Roos design. On the obverse, you will find the official portrait of the king by the Royal Mint’s Dan Thorne. Remarkably, this is the first time in 70 years that the obverse of an Australian coin has carried a portrait other than that of the late Queen Elizabeth II.

Struck by the Royal Australian Mint nearly four decades apart, both Australian legal tender coins are included in strictly Uncirculated quality. Protecting that mint state quality for the long-term, each coin is presented in an attractive pack. Impressive and affordable, this set is also very exclusive.
