The commemorative Landcare dollar coin, struck to incredible proof condition in pure silver.

The proof silver one dollar coins are the second most popular products that the RAM makes each year (the mint sets have been best sellers for decades!), largely due to the unique beauty and appeal of the coins when struck in silver.

There's something about seeing these commemorative designs when they've been struck in pure silver - the frosted relief on a mirrored background makes them stand out really well, and they look far better than they do when (if!) you can get them out of your change.

The Landcare / Water Is Life commemorative one dollar coin didn't really resonate with collectors when it first came out - they weren't particularly hard to get from circulation, the reverse design wasn't seen as being particularly inspiring and the theme wasn't one that the public particularly warmed to. As the dollar mintmark coins have become more popular though, values of the Landcare dollars have risen over time.
