Australian $1 coin question [gelöst]

Can anyone explain to me how you can have the king on a 2023 $1 coin, and then have the queen on a 2024  $1 coin?

The E-II coin is in memoriam (commemorative) and the C-1 is a circulation coin?

 Maybe, but it would be C-III anyway.

Right, three it is!

Probably they started the mass production of these 2024 dated coins before the new obverse with King Charles III was officially published.

Date on the Australian coins is not the real production date. I had in my hand (in Poland = +1 month for delivery) Australian coins dated 2023 before Queen died in September 2022. This was for collector issues. For circulation issues, it's possible that they start to produce it months before issue date.

It appears that all circulation coins bearing the portrait of HM Queen Elizabeth in 2023-2024 were issued "in memory of" the Queen with the designation "1952-2022".

Some non-circulating coins (BU or proof) were issued in 2023 without her date of death.

Some non-circulating coins (BU or proof) were issued in 2023 without her date of death.

These were designed or even already minted before the Queen death. Like the ones that I already purchased in August 2022 (from Chinese lunar series dated 2023).

Ok, thank you everyone who replied. I think I understand?

Hi everyone, some extra information for you all, have fun understanding this 😄.

The 2022 dated ones with the Queen on them that DID NOT have the 1952-2022 in Memoriam script on them were designed and minted before her death. Some of them are NCLT collector issues and some are circulation issues. Although they may have been issued after her death due to them being held at the Mint or banks. Here is an example of the obverse of one of those 2022 $1 coins.

The 2023 Year Mint and Proof Sets had already been designed and probably minted before the Queens death so they came out shortly after the Queens death with the Queens obverse on them without the in Memoriam 1952-2022 script. Here is an obverse from the $1 coin in the 2023 Year Set.

The ones that did have the 1952-2022 in Memoriam script were designed and minted after her death and were issued after her death. All of the ones minted with the Queen on them dated 2023 & 2024 had the in Memoriam 1952-2022 script on them (Except for the Year Sets mentioned above) These were being issued as late as March 2024. Some of these were NCLT and some were circulation issues. Obverse examples here.

The Royal Australian Mint were under pressure to issue into circulation a King Charles III coin in 2023 however and just managed to do so in December 2023 with a one dollar coin. I managed to get 2 rolls of them at face value from my bank. This is an image of the obverse by Designer Dan Thorne. No other 2023 denomination circulation coins had this obverse, only the $1. 

We didn't get the Year sets with King Charles on them until 2024 and they were only just issued in mid 2024!

Here is the King Charles III obverse on the 2024 coin from the Year BU & Proof  set. 

No 2024 definitive coins of any denomination have been issued into circulation yet as at 9/8//2024. (Some commemorative ones have been such as the Olympic $2 coins).

So as you can see there was a bit of an overlap with Australian Queen Elizabeth II coins and King Charles III coins. Just one of the many quirks of the Royal Australian Mint. Makes collecting coins here very interesting and challenging that's for sure.
