Comment
1986 was proclaimed the International Year of Peace by the United Nations and this was celebrated in Australia when the RAM issued a circulating one dollar design featuring a peace dove, hands and a wreath. These iconic peace symbols incorporated into the design put forward the values of the United Nations to continue peace efforts worldwide as not only an achievement but a continuing goal.A Silver (.925) version of the coin dated 1990 was also released in a capsule in a plush presentation box.
This 1986 issued coin was also included in a special five coin UNC set in 1992 to celebrate the first five different one dollar designs issued between 1984 and 1992.
