Issued to mark the centenary of the Australian Open's predecessor — the Australasian Championships, first held in 1905 — this coin arrived the year Novak Djokovic claimed his third consecutive men's singles title at Melbourne Park. The Royal Australian Mint's commemorative dollar program has long leveraged the aluminium bronze dollar format for sport-themed releases, producing them in volumes that keep secondary market premiums modest at best.
