Comment

This NCLT commemorative one dollar coin was released in 2006 by the Royal Australian Mint featuring various Counterstamps, but at the time known as Mintmarks. The coin Celebrated 50 years of Australian Television. It was released in a folding coincard with (C), (B), (M), (S) & (TV) Counterstamps at various ANDA & Royal Shows and the Public Gallery Press at the RAM during the year. (See examples below). Four coins are known to have escaped without a Counterstamp.
