| Additional information |
Australia issued a run of commemorative dollars for the 2011 Rugby World Cup hosted by New Zealand — a tournament the Wallabies entered as genuine contenders before losing to the All Blacks in the semifinal. The Royal Australian Mint's involvement was something of a commercial exercise; Australia was not the host nation, and the coin's existence reflects the RWC's licensing arrangements rather than any direct national organizing role.
KM#1739 is one of several Australian issues tied to the tournament, each targeting the collector market rather than circulation.
