Product Description

1967 Australia Pattern Swan/Goose Dollar

Mintage: 1500

Uncirculated fine silver example with exceptional eye appeal. Housed in original case of issue.

While this coin is not an official issue, it is now part of numismatic history that has attracted significant status with collectors. When decimal currency was introduced in 1966, collectors were surprised to learn that a one dollar coin was not considered as part of the new lineup. The Australian Coin Review took up the challenge and conducted a competition among readers. The "Swan Dollar" (More commonly called the Goose Dollar) was the winning entry and the design was forwarded to the relevant government department. When the design was rejected, the competition organisers decided to have it privately minted. All coins were issued in a maroon coloured case, with the inscription Australian Pattern "Crown" inside the lid.
