Comment
NOTE: The center "plug" coin issued with 1 DollarInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1989 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, uneven surface of a dump. The coin's unique finish and limited mintage make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
