W 1996 r. RAM wypuściła do obiegu aluminiową monetę dolarową z brązu, która upamiętniała 100. rocznicę śmierci Sir Henry'ego Parkesa. Znany jako "ojciec federacji", nie popierał tej koncepcji aż do ostatnich kilku lat swojego życia politycznego. Powszechnie uważa się, że jego poparcie wynikało z wygody, ale mimo to znany jest z mocnego przemówienia w Tenterfield, w którym wzywał do federacji kolonii Australii. Powody, dla których to zrobił, były w najlepszym razie mieszane, a on sam powiedział, że federacja byłaby świetnym pomysłem, aby sprawcy kłopotów w Broken Hill stali się problemem Australii Południowej, a nie NSW! (Pomimo tego, że Broken Hill faktycznie znajduje się w NSW!).

Moneta została wydana w 1996 roku w standardowych zestawach Proof i Uncirculated bez znaku mennicy.
Została wypuszczona na różnych pokazach rolniczych itp. w ciągu roku z odpowiednimi znakami menniczymi (A, B, C, M, S itp.). (Zobacz przykłady)
Była również dołączana do corocznych zestawów Baby UNC i Proof bez znaku mennicy.
Była również dostępna jako moneta Mint Your Own (MYO) w Public Gallery Press w RAM ze znakiem mennicy "C".
Była również dostępna w ogólnej sprzedaży detalicznej za pośrednictwem dealerów monet w małej składanej karcie ze znakiem mennicy "C".

Odwiedzający mennice i pokazy monet mogli wybić monetę za opłatą

Wypuszczono również wersję monety ze srebra próby 925 bez znaku mennicy.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

In 1996 the RAM released an aluminium bronze dollar coin into circulation that commemorated the 100th anniversary of the death of Sir Henry Parkes. Known as the "Father of Federation" he did not support the concept strongly until the last few years of his political life. The general consensus of his support is that it was one of convenience, but despite this he is known for a strong speech at Tenterfield urging Federation of the colonies of Australia. His reasons for doing so were mixed at best, and he is recorded as saying that federation would be a great idea so that trouble makers in Broken Hill would become South Australia's problem and not those of NSW! (Despite Broken Hill actually being just inside NSW!)

The coin was released in the 1996 standard Proof & Uncirculated Sets without a mintmark.
It was released at various Agricultural Shows etc through the year with relevant Mintmarks, (A, B, C, M, S etc). (See Examples)
It was also included in the annual Baby UNC & Proof sets without a mintmark.
It was also available as a Mint Your Own (MYO) coin at the Public Gallery Press at the RAM with a "C" Mintmark.
It was also available for general retail sale through coin dealers in a small folded coincard with a "C" Mintmark.

Visitors at mints and coin shows were allowed to strike a coin for a fee

A .925 Sterling Silver NCLT non-mintmarked version of the coin was also released.
