| Additional information |
The United Nations designated 1986 as the International Year of Peace, a declaration that prompted commemorative issues from mints worldwide during the Cold War's final decade. Australia's participation was notable — the RAM struck this dollar for general circulation rather than as a collector-only release, meaning examples genuinely passed through hands and tills across the country.
The aluminium bronze alloy was relatively new to the Australian dollar at this point, having only been introduced with the coin's 1984 launch to replace the one-dollar note.
