| Additional information |
The Great Aussie Coin Hunt was a Royal Australian Mint circulation campaign that released 26 alphabet-themed one-dollar coins into general change across Australia in 2019 — a deliberate attempt to reignite public engagement with coinage at a moment when tap-and-pay transactions had measurably reduced cash handling, particularly among younger Australians. The "F" release was among the more aggressively sought letters by collectors completing full alphabet sets.
This silver proof version was struck separately for the collector market, sharing its design with the circulating aluminium-bronze coin but produced to entirely different tolerances at the Mint's Canberra facility.
