Coin 6 - 2005 60th Anniversary of the End of World War II - 1 Dollar Coin A Coin commemorating the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II [WW II]. The design was inspired by a newsreel image of a celebrating man hence is also known as the "Dancing Man". One of the most famous 'clips' of all time used in many documentaries. On the 14th August 1945 Japan accepted the allied demands for surrender marking the end of World War II. The following day it was announced in Australia sparking feelings of joy and relief from all Australians. VP Day (Victory in the Pacific Day) was reported in all the papers and the Australian government gazetted it a public holiday. USA and New Zealand preferred the term VJ Day (Victory over Japan Day) and named it as such.On VP Day August 15th 1945 the celebrations were rife. In the streets of Sydney a man was caught on motion picture film dancing in celebration. This film and the "dancing man" has taken on iconic status in symbolising the victory of WW II.2005 marked the 60th anniversary of VP Day and the RAM released a circulation one dollar coin depicting "Peace" and the image of the iconic dancing man. In a media release the RAM said the gentleman depicted was one Ern Hill, a retired electrician but there is much conjecture over this. There is more evidence that it is in fact Frank McAlary QC. Both these men and others claim to be the famous dancing man caught on camera dancing down Elizabeth Street on that day. The reverse shows a celebrating man waving his hat in the air, the denomination 1 DOLLAR between the figure and its shadow below. Around above, WORLD WAR 1939 - 1945 PEACE. Designers initials WP in tiny letters under the right foot of the figure. The obverse shows the crowned mature head of Queen Elizabeth II facing right (her effigy known as the "Fourth Portrait"). The Queen wears the "Girls of Great Britain and Ireland" diamond tiara, a wedding gift from Queen Mary (Her Majesty's grandmother) in 1947 - which she also has on the Machin and the Gottwald portraits.In tiny letters below the head, the artist's initials IRB (for Ian Rank-Broadley). Around, the monarch's legend and the date of issue: ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 2005 Coin 7 - 2018 100 Years of Anzacs 2014-2018 - 1 Dollar Coin These circulating commemorative one dollar coins mark the Centenary of the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) and its role in World War I from 1914 to 1918. The Royal Australian Mint issued a series of coins with identical reverses commemorating each of these years: 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. Coins issued in 2018 have now been in circulation for only four years. The reverse features the ANZAC Centenary logo which depicts an image of an Australian soldier with head bowed and rifle reversed in solemn reflection; this figure forms the numeral 1 in the inscription 100 YEARS OF ANZAC. Below that in smaller letters on two lines, THE SPIRIT LIVES 2014 - 2018. Around below, the denomination and value ONE DOLLAR.The rim beading seen on the coin is cleverly a motif reflecting the sun's rays as seen on the Australian Army's Rising Sun badge.

In tiny letters below the head, the artist's initials IRB (for Ian Rank-Broadley). Around the effigy is the monarch's legend and the date: ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 2018. Coin 8 - 2021 V-Victa Lawnmower - 1 Dollar Coin This circulating commemorative dollar coin is part of the The Great Aussie Coin Hunt 2 campaign - a series of 26 different $1 coins where each features a letter of the English alphabet and an Australian symbol starting with that letter. The coin for the letter V features the Victa Lawnmower. 'V' is for Victa Lawnmower - the soundtrack to suburban Australia. The Victa Lawnmower has been cutting lawns since 1952, when the first prototype was made from scrap metal and a peach tin in a garage by Mervyn Victor Richardson. While not the first lawnmower to be invented, the Victa was comparatively lighter and more powerful, creating significant demand for the product. Now almost 70 years on, Victa Lawnmowers are well and truly entrenched in Australian society and also exported abroad. The obverse of the coin depicts the crowned old bust of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing the Royal Diamond Diadem crown worn for her Coronation (effigy known as the "Fifth Portrait" worldwide but "Sixth Portrait" in Australia, where the Queen's portrait by Vladimir Gottwald was fifth). The Queen also wears the Coronation Necklace; originally made for Queen Victoria in 1858, it was also worn at the coronations (as Queen's Consort) of Queen Alexandra in 1902, Queen Mary in 1911 and Queen Elizabeth (the Queen mother) in 1937. Unlike on British coinage, the effigy is "uncouped" (includes the Queen's shoulders) and extends almost to the rim of the coin; consequently, the legend does not run continuously around the rim. The artist's initials JC (for Jody Clark) are in tiny letters below left. Around the effigy is the monarch's legend and the date: ELIZABETH II · AUSTRALIA 2021 Photo Credits Photo 1 - A view of the - Eight [8] Australian Commemorative - 1 Dollar CoinsPhoto 2 - A view of the - Eight [8] Australian Commemorative - 1 Dollar Coins in their protective cases Photo 3 - A closer view of the - 1988 Australian Bicentenary - 1 Dollar Coin Photo 4 - A closer view of the - 1996 Sir Henry Parkes 1815-1896 - 1 Dollar Coin Photo 5 - A closer view of the - 1997 Kingsford Smith 1897-1935 - 1 Dollar Coin Photo 6 - A closer view of the - 1999 International Year of Older Persons - 1 Dollar Coin Photo 7 - A closer view of the - 2002 Year of the Outback - 1 Dollar Coin Photo 8 - A closer view of the - 2005 60th Anniversary of the End of World War II - 1 Dollar Coin Photo 9 - A closer view of the - 2018 100 Years of Anzacs 2014-2018 - 1 Dollar Coin Photo 10 - A closer view of the - 2021 V-Victa Lawnmower - 1 Dollar Coin Photo 11 - Another view of the - Eight [8] Australian Commemorative - 1 Dollar Coins Shipping Shipping is included within Australia and Internationally for a nominal fee as my gift to you.
