What have I got here?

[brismike]

My son got this in change at the local pub last night.






It is a MOR $1 but dated 2019 with IRB Effigy instead of JC.

It also has got a Privymark on the Reverse.

And a small number 35 on the Reverse just to the left of the second kangaroo's head.

Where can this have come from? I wasn't aware any 2019 dated coins had even been released yet except for the Lunar coins & 2 Headed release.

Also the Privymark is a bit of a mystery .... This is normally only done on the ANDA show coins and the Sydney one is not due until 27/10/2018
Not only that the Sydney ANDA MOR privymarked coin should be a 2018 dated coin as per the other 3 already out from Perth, Brisbane and Melbourne.

And what is the significance of the number 35 on it?

I am stumped???

Wow! That 35 has really got me stumped!

Nevol posted some 2019 $1 info yesterday https://www.australian-coins.net/showthread.php?tid=5310&page=6 but that 35 has my head spinning now.

Thanks Jen ... I didn't know that ... Looks like there are a few on Ebay at big prices. I am keeping mine.

From the other posts on the other thread about it that were mentioned, it seems that it is something special that the RAM is doing.

Just wish they wouldn't be so secretive.

Don't be surprised when RAM announce all 26 alphabet privymarks on the $1 coins

[brismike]

I sent the RAM a message on Facebook .. This was my question .....

Hi, I found a 2019 $1 mob of roos coin in change that had a privymark and a very small '35' stamped on it. After some searching on the coin groups it seems there are [A] and versions around as well. Can you enlighten me a little about these seemingly unannounced coins that are being found in circulation? Thanks Mike


This was the reply .....

Hi Michael, firstly congratulations on finding the coin, they are part of an upcoming program that will soon be announced.  I can't say more at this time but keep a hold of those coins and check back on this page at the end of the month.  Thank you.

S0 the mystery deepens.

Cheers Mike

Is it going to  spell Australia with all the coins perhaps?

Well I am going to need three letter "A"s, and one "U", "S", "T", "R", "L" and an "I"

I found another "S" Coin today ... There must be a few around I think.

From:https://finance.nine.com.au/2018/10/16/14/23/time-travelling-coin
 
A $1 coin has caused a storm on social media after its owner spotted an odd feature, but there is a simple explanation to this 'time-travelling' coin
.
The heads side of the coin is marked with the year 2019.

Town Hall Coins and Collectables owner David Jobson told nine.com.au the coin was simply next year's coin that had slipped into circulation.

"They [the Mint] do release coins before the year of issue so there are 2019 coins out now
.
"But even if they do issue them out early, we wouldn't expect to see them for a while."

The Royal Australian Mint's CEO Ross MacDiarmid said anyone who finds such a coin should hold onto it.

"The 'time travelling' 2019-dated coins that have been found and shared online are no mistake," he told 9Finance.
"At the Royal Australian Mint, we've broken with tradition and purposely released these coins early for a special reason that will be revealed on 1 November.

"If you find a coin, we suggest you keep it in a safe place until we can tell you more.

"Likewise, we encourage all Aussies to pay close attention to their spare change and if you spot a 2019 coin then hold on to it."

While coin collectors might speculate what event the futuristic coin commemorates they will have to wait until next month for the Mint to reveal its purpose.

I reckon they're for the 35th Anniversary of "Advance Australia Fair" becoming the national anthem.
