2009 Al/Br $1 Uncirculated Coin Master Mintmark

In 2009 the Royal Australian Mint (the Mint) sees the completion of the most substantial upgrade to its facilities since its original construction in 1965. To mark the occasion the Mint will be releasing a newly designed Master Mintmark which will be used on the standard $1 coin design. The mark featuring the letter ‘C’ with a kangaroo passing through it was chosen by the Mint’s CEO Janine Murphy from a selection of motifs produced by Mint design staff. The Master Mintmark logo has been registered with IP Australia and will appear on a variety of Mint numismatic products in the future. The blister-packed coin is presented in die-cut packaging that folds into a miniature Mint building, intriguing for the young collector and perhaps a challenge for adults.
