This 1982 Royal Australian Mint gold proof coin commemorates the XII Commonwealth Games held in Brisbane – a proud moment when Australia welcomed the Commonwealth to Queensland. The reverse, designed by Stuart Devlin, captures the excitement with a powerful athlete in mid-stride beside the distinctive Games logo, surrounded by the inscription “XII COMMONWEALTH GAMES BRISBANE 200 DOLLARS”. Struck to flawless proof quality, the mirror fields and frosted devices give the design outstanding depth and brilliance, perfectly highlighting the energy and spirit of the event.

The obverse features Arnold Machin’s elegant second portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, paired with the classic leatherette presentation case that protects the coin in its original capsule. With a mintage of 30,032 pieces, this 10-gram gold proof remains a highly sought-after commemorative and a standout addition to any Australian gold or sporting-themed collection.
