2012 International Year of Co-operatives $1 Uncirculated Coin

On 18 December 2009, the United Nations proclaimed 2012 as the International Year of Co-Operatives (IYC). Voluntary, democratic, independent and self sufficient, the co-operative business model has been a major factor in realising economic growth and social development.

Since the 1850's, they have been a part of Australia's socio-economic landscape, employing locals and redistributing profits back into local communities.

This coin features building blocks, which represent the role that co-operatives play in providing stability in a fast-paced global economy.
