A 2014 Royal Australian Mint $1 uncirculated commemorative coin marking the bicentenary of the publication of Matthew Flinders' A Voyage to Terra Australis (1814-2014), with the special B Brisbane counterstamp. This special counterstamp variant was released at the Brisbane ANDA coin show, making it distinct from standard issue examples.
The coin is presented in its original premium presentation card featuring a portrait miniature of Captain Matthew Flinders in Royal Navy uniform on a brown leather-textured background. The card reads A Voyage to / TERRA AUSTRALIS and B BRISBANE COUNTERSTAMP / 2014 $1 UNCIRCULATED COIN. The reverse of the card features a period map of Australia's coastline and a descriptive text noting the bicentenary.
Specifications (confirmed from original card): Denomination: $1 AUD Metal: AlBr (aluminium bronze) Mass: 9.00g Diameter: 25.00mm Finish: Uncirculated Mintage: 7,500 (very limited) Designer: Royal Australian Mint Issuing authority: Royal Australian Mint, Canberra
Grade: MS-65 (Sheldon scale). Fully uncirculated in original sealed card. No wear detected.
With a total mintage of only 7,500, this is among the more elusive Australian $1 counterstamp issues from the RAM. Matthew Flinders was the first person to circumnavigate Australia and is widely credited with popularising the name Australia. A compelling piece for collectors of Australian history and low-mintage commemoratives.
