The Mintmark 1 Dollar for 2012, The Wheat Sheaf Dollar (right), that same design last seen on our pre-decimal threepence by George Kruger Gray (left)
The Australian one dollar coin is released each year with many different commemorative designs. The original standard design is the mob of 5 kangaroos by Stuart Devlin. These aluminium bronze coins weigh 9 grams and are 25mm in diameter. Some of these designs are struck in silver proof which are still the same size but differ in weight, the 99.9% silver being a heavier coin at 11.66 grams. All coins have interrupted edge reeding. All these legal tender Australian coins released have the obverse effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley.
No circulation dollar coins were minted in 2102.
