Title: 2022 $1 Counterstamp
Post by: autocoupler on February 15, 2026, 10:02:09 AM
Does anyone know if there was a 2022 $1 Counterstamp produced? Haven't seen or heard of any about in the market. 

The RAM report mentions a 2022 $1 Australia Map Counterstamp on a Dinosaur coin with a mintage of 3. Hard to believe they'd do just 3, unless they're doing coins for the Governor as was done in the early years.

I'm pretty sure they privy marked the dinosaur set with D I N O if I recall correctly and I seem to recall the mint marked ones. I don't think I bothered with those.
I don't remember a counterstamp. Were they even open in 2022 or still closed for CoVID?
Sorry, no help here.

Here are the DINO ones on eBag.

Plus seen some C Mintmarks there.

Are you sure it wasn't Creatures of the Deep? They had a map counterstamp. Could be a mistake in their report. Wouldn't be the first time.

Thanks, gweidion. I'm running with it being a mistake. I did email the RAM several times citing the entry in their report and asking for clarification. They eventually replied encouraging me to access their reports, doh!!
