Australian Dollar Coins: 2005 Issues and Mintages

2005 Circulating Design Dollar -the Dancing Man

The circulation coin for 2005 was the “Peace” dollar comemmorating the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II, also known as the Dancing Man dollar. A Mob of Roos coin was not intended for circulation initially but when a Mob of Roos reverse die was accidently paired with the 2005 Ian Rank-Broadley obverse and a run produced it was decided to continue with the release to avoid any negative publicity. This was the first year in which both a fine silver and a gold set were available to collectors. 2005 was also the final year in the Koala series of Baby Sets.
