Collecting by coin type

An easy way to start collecting coins is by choosing a specific coin or a denomination – anything from a humble penny to a Gold Sovereign or a coloured $2-dollar coin and building a complete collection of year dates and varieties.

Our coloured $2-dollar coins are especially popular, not only with Australian collectors but all over the world. Since the introduction of the 2012 red poppy interest in coin collecting in Australia has exploded.

For more of a challenge, try researching the different issues of obsolete coins such as pre-decimal halfpennies or pennies and starting a collection from there. Going back in history to acquire the old issues is a fascinating way of documenting the rich history of our nation.

Even among such commonly available coins there are rarities to be found together with the occasional ‘error’ coin that made it to circulation before being quickly withdrawn.

As you can see there are so many ways to get involved in the wonderful world of coin collecting!

We can help you get started- Whatever type or period of coinage you enjoy collecting be it pre-decimal coins, decimal coins, or proof coins.
