2015 $1 Mob of Roos Uncirculated Perth Privy Mark
Obverse: Elizabeth II to right, legend around
Reverse: Mob of Roo's with 'P' privy mark
Composition: Aluminium Bronze | Weight: 9.00g | Diameter: 25.00mm
Mintage: 5,000
One of just 5,000 coins struck exclusively for the 2016 Perth Money Expo.
This coin is from what is easily the most popular area of decimal numismatics - more people collect carded one dollar coins than any other decimal coin product. It's an enduring series that started with the Barcelona dollars way back in 1992, and continues more than 2 decades later. They are affordable, interesting, and often challenging.
A subset of the carded dollar coin series is the annual set of $1 coins that the RAM strikes for exclusive release at the ANDA shows Money Expos.
There's always an air of excitement when each show approaches - many of the coins have completely sold out.
They're easy for non-collectors to appreciate - perfect as a gift for the kids / grandkids.
Even a non collector can appreciate that a special coin with a letter on it is quite different to the coins they get in their change, when it's in a coloured card it makes it harder to split out and spend at the tuck shop.
Who knows, work on a complete set with them over the year, and you might just get them started collecting...
2016 is only the second year ever that the Royal Australian Mint (RAM) has decided to use the "Mob of Roos" $1 coin design on the series of privy marked coins released at the major numismatic events held throughout the year. The ANDA Money Expo dates for 2016 are:
Perth ANDA Money Expo: Saturday 27th February 10.00am to 5.00pm & Sunday 28th February 10.00am to 4.00pm
venue: Domain Stadium, Subiaco
Brisbane ANDA Money Expo: Saturday 21st May 10.00am to 5.00pm & Sunday 22nd May 10.00am to 4.00pm
venue: Brisbane Table Tennis Centre, Windsor
Melbourne ANDA Money Expo: Saturday 27th August 10.00am to 5.00pm & Sunday 28th August 10.00am to 4.00pm
venue: Tennis Centre, Olympic Park, Melbourne
Sydney ANDA Money Expo: Saturday 15th October 10.00am to 5.00pm & Sunday 16th October 10.00am to 4.00pm
venue: Lower Town Hall, Druitt St, Sydney
The images at the top of this page show the coin that the RAM struck for the Perth show - this coin features a small "P" privy mark above the "A" in "DOLLAR", and is in a tan presentation card.
By the end of 2016, I reckon demand will be pretty keen for the Perth coins, simply because a lot of collectors will be late to the party. (This is exactly what happened last year). Keep in mind that the mintage for 2016 is 2,000 lower than it was in 2015, and the Perth coins sold out completely.
