| Additional information |
Issued as part of the Royal Australian Mint's ongoing program of circulating commemorative dollars, this coin marked the AFL's recognition of the volunteers and officials — boundary umpires, club administrators, trainers — who sustain the competition beneath the professional level. Australian rules football's administrative infrastructure has historically depended on unpaid labour to a degree unusual even among amateur-rooted codes, a legacy of the VFL's community-club origins in 1897.
KM#3073 is one of several AFL-themed dollars released around this period, and collector demand rather than circulation wear tends to govern surviving grades.
