Australia’s second commemorative $1 coin type, this is your chance to secure the unique, one-year-only 1988 Bicentennial $1 in strictly Uncirculated quality!
Struck by the Royal Australian Mint, the 1988 Bicentennial $1 was issued to mark the 200th anniversary of European Settlement. In 1788, the First Fleet led by Arthur Phillip arrived on Australian shores to establish the first permanent European colony. On January the 26th of that year, Phillip disembarked at Port Jackson (now Sydney) and claimed New South Wales on behalf of Great Britain and King George III. Two centuries later, Australia marked the Bicentennial of European Settlement in many ways, including the issue of the 1988 Bicentennial $1.
A unique type, the 1988 Bicentennial $1 was designed by Australia’s numismatic master craftsman Stuart Devlin – the man who created the designs for all of Australia’s original decimal coins. Depicting the iconic kangaroo in the style of indigenous art, the design represented an acknowledgment of Australia’s original inhabitants. Official Australian legal tender, the coin carries the Raphael Maklouf portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse.
While you may well come across an example of the 1988 Bicentennial $1 in your change, the passing of nearly 40 years since issue means that there’s no way it will be in superior quality. A key element of every Australian collection, we have this key type available in strictly Uncirculated quality!
