2005 Mob of 'roos One Dollar PCGS PR68DCAM

There aren’t too many major rarities amongst Australia’s modern coin series. They’re all well-known and widely collected. One such rarity is the 2005 proof kangaroo dollar. Struck by mistake in 2006 and issued in the 2006 proof set, the coin is rare because the official proof dollar minted in 2005 had a completely different design, thus making the 2005 proof dollar with the kangaroo design extremely rare. A Melbourne coin dealer discovered about twenty examples in their initial allocation from the mint, and a dealer from Brisbane managed to acquire a small quantity as well, but since then, very few pieces have appeared on the market, and no other large discoveries have been reported. It’s a great rarity from one of the most popular series of coins in Australia, and one of the rarest standard decimal coins ever minted.
