1 Dollar - Elizabeth II 4th Portrait - XXI Commonwealth Games

Issued to mark the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games — the first time Queensland hosted the event and only the fifth time Australia has done so overall — this dollar was part of a broader circulation release intended to put commemorative coinage directly into everyday transactions rather than collector packaging. The Games themselves were notable for being the first major multi-sport event to mandate gender equality across all disciplines, with an equal number of medal events for men and women.
