The XXI Commonwealth Games held on the Gold Coast will be the first time a regional city in Australia has hosted the Games.
To celebrate this occasion, the Royal Australian Mint has produced this colourful coin featuring Borobi, the official mascot of the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games.
In 1930 the Commonwealth Games ran for the first time in Canada, attracting around four hundred athletes. In 2018, more than eight decades later, the XXI Commonwealth Games will be held in Australia attracting over six thousand athletes.
This eye-catching one dollar coin features Australia’s most colourful marsupial and official mascot of the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games, Borobi. This tree-dwelling native will be appearing frequently in the lead up to the opening ceremony.
This coin is the perfect opportunity to collect a memento of this exciting time in Australian sports history!
