Due to the decreasing life expectancy of the Australian One Dollar note, it was decided to replace the note with a coin, which the Royal Australian Mint expects to get 40 or more years use from.
The One Dollar coin was designed by Stuart Devlin, who designed the reverse of all of Australia's non-commemorative circulating coins.
The coin is 25 mm in diameter, 3 mm thick, weighs 9 grams and is made from 92% copper, 6% aluminum and 2% nickel, giving it a gold appearance.
The coin was first issued in 1984 and featured a youthful portrait of Queen Elizabeth II (Arnold Machin) on the obverse and 5 kangaroos on the reverse, maintaining the uniquely Australian theme of Australian Coins.
