2016 $1 Fine Silver Proof Coin – Singapore Airlines Corporate Order

This 2016 $1 Fine Silver Proof Coin is an exceptionally scarce and exclusive release, minted by the Royal Australian Mint as part of a special corporate order commissioned by Singapore Airlines. With a limited mintage of just 200 coins, it was distributed exclusively to high-level staff within Singapore Airlines, making it a true rarity in the numismatic world.

Key Features:

• Scarcity: Only 200 coins were produced, making this one of the rarest modern Australian coins.

• Corporate Commission: Minted specifically for Singapore Airlines, this coin was never made available to the public, adding to its exclusivity.

• Design: Features the iconic Australian $1 design with striking detail in fine silver proof quality.

• Presentation: Housed in an elegant black presentation case, though no certificate of authenticity (COA) was issued.

Historical Context:

This coin holds added significance due to its connection to the 2016 fine silver proof set, which lacked a $1 coin due to the 50th anniversary of Australia's decimal currency. The anniversary set reproduced the 1c and 2c coins while omitting the $1 and $2 denominations, making this corporate-commissioned $1 coin a fascinating standalone piece.

Why It’s Special:

With its extremely low mintage, unique corporate origins, and connection to a key moment in Australian numismatic history, this coin is a must-have for serious collectors. Its scarcity and exclusive distribution make it a standout addition to any collection.
