1984 $1 Mob of Roos Proof Coin – Royal Australian Mint

The First Australian $1 Coin – A Landmark in Decimal Currency

The 1984 $1 Mob of Roos Proof Coin is one of the most significant releases in Australia's decimal coinage history. Produced by the Royal Australian Mint, this beautiful proof coin marks the introduction of the Australian $1 coin, which officially replaced the one-dollar banknote in 1984. Featuring Stuart Devlin's iconic Mob of Roos design, this historic issue has become an essential addition to collections of Australian decimal coins.

Expertly struck to a superb proof finish, the coin displays frosted design elements set against highly polished mirror-like fields, showcasing the artistry of one of Australia's most recognisable coin designs. The reverse features five kangaroos in motion, symbolising the vast Australian landscape and the nation's unique wildlife—a design that has become synonymous with the Australian one-dollar coin.

The obverse bears the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Arnold Machin, as featured on Australia's circulating coinage during the period. As the inaugural proof issue of Australia's $1 denomination, this coin represents a defining moment in the evolution of the nation's currency and remains highly sought after by collectors.

Whether you're collecting Royal Australian Mint proof coins, first-year decimal issues or iconic Australian designs, the 1984 $1 Mob of Roos Proof Coin is a timeless collectible that celebrates an important chapter in Australia's numismatic history.
