Where it came from
The 2017 Australian one-cent coin was struck as a numismatic commemorative piece, long after the circulation of one-cent coins was discontinued by the Royal Australian Mint in 1992. Issued as part of special proof sets, this specific specimen features the third effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Raphael Maklouf. The design, which was originally introduced in 1985, depicts the Queen wearing the King George IV State Diadem and was favored for its regal, classic aesthetic.
The 2017 issue served as a nostalgic tribute to the decimal currency transition that began in 1966. By producing these in a high-quality silver proof finish, the mint catered specifically to the collector market, offering a polished look at a denomination that had become a relic of daily commerce. These pieces are highly regarded for their archival quality and the deliberate use of the Maklouf portrait, which remains a favorite among collectors for its balance of traditional portraiture and technical precision.
