The Royal Australian Mint marks a milestone with the 2025 $1 60th Anniversary Mintmark & Privy Mark Uncirculated Four-Coin Set, celebrating six decades since its 1965 opening by HRH Prince Philip. This set honours the Mint’s pivotal role in Australia’s decimalisation journey, having produced over 14 billion coins and earning global acclaim for its craftsmanship. Designed by Adam Ball, each coin features a large “60” with the years “1965-2025,” surrounded by vignettes of the Mint’s history – from coin production to its iconic Canberra building, built with over a million bricks on a solid stone foundation discovered during construction in 1963.

The set includes four uncirculated $1 coins, each with a unique mintmark or privy mark: “C” for Canberra, “S” for Sydney, “M” for Melbourne, and a special “AMB” privy mark for the Mint itself, reflecting its legacy of innovation. The obverse of each coin bears the effigy of King Charles III, designed by Daniel Thorne, tying this anniversary to royal tradition. Presented in a clear display case with a sleeve showcasing the Mint’s construction and modern-day image, this set is a tribute to the artisans and collectors who’ve shaped its history. It’s a ripper for anyone keen on Australia’s numismatic heritage.
