Honour the Legacy of the Australian One Cent Coin

Every coin tells a story; few speak more directly to Australia’s numismatic heritage than the Australian one cent coin. This small yet significant copper piece was introduced in 1966 during the nation’s decimal transformation. It also marked a new chapter in Australian currency history.

Though withdrawn from circulation in 1992, the one cent coin in Australia remains a key collector’s item. Explore our complete Australian coin collection to build your set from the ground up, or immerse yourself in the decimal era with our curated decimal coin collection.

Why Collect One Cent Coins?

The one cent coin may be modest in denomination, but its numismatic importance is far from small. It features a feisty feathertail glider on the reverse, and the Australian one cent coin is a classic among modern coin designs. Collectors hold it in high regard, not only for its cultural symbolism but also for the intriguing variations and low-mintage years that define its history.

Several mintages, including the 1985 and 1986 proofs and the 1968 circulation issue, are considered key finds. Depending on condition and mint origin, some examples are now classified as rare one cent coins. That makes them especially desirable for both established and emerging collectors..

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Australian one cent coin still legal tender?

The Australian one cent coin was withdrawn from circulation in 1992 and is no longer accepted for transactions, but it remains legal tender under Australian law and is widely collected.

Are one cent coins valuable?

While many are common, some years and mintmarks can significantly influence the one cent coin’s value. Coins in uncirculated or proof condition and those with low mintage can be highly collectible.

What is the rarest one cent coin Australia has produced?

Among the most sought-after are the 1985 and 1986 proof issues, which were not released into circulation, and high-grade 1968 examples. Collectors often consider these rare one cent coins.

How can I tell what my one cent coin is worth?

Factors like mint year, condition, and strike quality determine the value of a one cent coin. To get a clearer idea of current worth, refer to trusted valuation guides or consult with numismatic experts.

Where were Australian 1c coins made?

Most of them were struck by the Royal Australian Mint. However, some early issues were produced in London and Perth. Explore our full range of coins from the Perth Mint for commemorative and special issues.
