2004 Hologram MOR $1 Proof

The 2004 Hologram MOR $1 Proof represents an innovative milestone in Australian numismatic design, incorporating cutting-edge holographic technology into the reverse. This coin is subject to natural toning caused by hologram chemical interaction, which can migrate from the reverse to the obverse, occasionally leaving residue along the rim and creating characteristic tone webbing patterns on the obverse. This particular example demonstrates exceptional preservation, displaying minimal toning effects on the obverse compared to most other examples—a significant advantage for collectors prioritising aesthetic appeal. Struck to proof quality with mirror fields and frosted devices, the hologram element creates a dynamic visual effect that shifts with light angle. The combination of innovative technology, proof craftsmanship, and superior condition makes this a highly desirable piece for serious collectors of modern Australian commemorative coinage and those seeking examples with minimal toning characteristics.
