Coin 4 - 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.

Coin 7 2020 Donation Dollar - 1 Dollar Coin The Donation Dollar was intended to be donated, thus encouraging the promotion of charity in Australia; on its release, it was advertised as the first such coin in the world. It is also Australia's first coloured circulating coin in the one dollar denomination - all earlier circulating coloured coins were $2. Additionally, it is the first circulating $1 where the denomination is on the obverse; such designs were only used on collector coins before. One dollar coins issued in 2020 have now been in circulation for only three years. The reverse of the coin has several concentric lines at its centre. From a central small circle, a number of green sectors radiate out over these concentric lines. Around above, the inscription DONATION DOLLAR. In smaller letters around below, GIVE TO HELP OTHERS. The value and denomination are on the obverse. 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 2020 · 1 DOLLAR ·.
