The center "plug" coin issued with 1 Dollar, KM#154Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1990 Australian 25 cent coin featuring Elizabeth II (3rd Portrait - The Dump) is that it was minted with a unique "dump" finish, which gives the coin a distinctive rough, matte appearance. This finish was achieved by manually pouring the molten silver into a mold, creating a textured surface that resembles the rough, irregular shape of a dump. The coin's unusual finish was intended to symbolize the raw, unrefined nature of the silver, and it has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
