2016 $1 Australia 50 Years of Decimal Currency Changeover Coin PCGS Graded MS67
Commemorating the changeover to decimal currency (in 1966) 50 years ago in 2016 all of our beloved coin designs were released into circulation with special obverses. Instead of a different design on the “tails” side of the coin we still see all the familiar animals that have adorned our coins since 1966. It’s the side depicting Queen Elizabeth II that has been changed to commemorate this 50 years. The effigy designed by Ian Rank-Broadley was greatly reduced allowing for a reminder of our pre-decimal coins to be added to the obverse.- $1 the florin Coat of Arms ! There is also an addition to the legend reading “FIFTY YEARS”.
The 2016 $1 Changeover coin is highly sought and having a very low mintage of 560,000
Premium Low mintage coin graded by PCGS as MS67.
