2018 Borobi Gold Coast Commonwealth Games One Dollar ($1) Uncirculated Australian Decimal Coin

In 1930 the Commonwealth Games ran for the first time in Canada, attracting around four hundred athletes.

In 2018, more than eight decades later, the XXI Commonwealth Games will be held in Australia attracting over six thousand athletes. Historically numismatic programs have shone a light on the appetite Australians have for the commemoration of competition at the international level. Coin programs celebrating the Olympics, Commonwealth Games as well as the 2016 Australian Olympic Team are all sought-after items.

In partnership with the XXI Commonwealth Games, the Mint happily presents this one dollar coin featuring Australia’s most colourful marsupial and official mascot of the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games, Borobi. This tree-dwelling native will be appearing frequently in the lead up to the opening ceremony. This coin is the perfect opportunity to collect a memento of this exciting time in Australian sports history.
