Australian Dollar Coins: 2004 Issues and Mintages

2004 brought another influx of standard Mob of Roos into circulation. Not since 2000 had we seen a circulation release of the Stuart Devlin design. The theme for the 2004 year sets was “Come Alive” in which the proof set dollar was released with a holographic Mob of Roos coin. This was the first year since 1990 that all standard coins were featured in the year sets (no comemmoratives) hence the “coming alive” of the iconic designs of the Aussie currency.
The mintmark coin for 2004 was the 150th anniversary of the Eureka Stockade. This series was launched at the Eureka Centre in Ballarat, Victoria on February 27th 2004. This was the first year in which an “E” mintmark was released on a coin.
