Key Features
$1 King Charles III Premium Rolled Coin
Tradition holds that Australian coins bear an effigy of the reigning Monarch on their obverse. Reflecting the recent succession of His Majesty King Charles III, Australia’s coins are undergoing a transformation not seen for seven decades and one that has not been experienced in the history of our decimal currency.
As an era comes to a close, the new effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Daniel Thorne will assume its place on the obverse for Australia’s legal tender coins. In keeping centuries-old tradition, as the successor, the effigy of His Majesty faces left, the opposite direction from his predecessor.
The 2023 $1 ‘Mob of Roos’ Circulating Coin was the first release to feature the new King Charles III effigy, which has made it an instant ‘must have’ for many coin collectors. These premium rolls ensure twenty high quality examples of these sort after coins in a format that is highly desirable by the numismatic community.
