The most prestigious tribute to the 60th anniversary of Australia’s adoption of decimal currency, this exclusive Australian legal tender coin from the Royal Australian Mint is struck from 99.99% pure gold!

Joining a broad global trend, Australia’s original ‘pounds, shillings & pence’ currency system was supplanted by decimal currency in February of 1966. The work of legendary numismatic craftsman Stuart Devlin, Australia’s first decimal coinage celebrated Australian native animals. This included the kangaroo & emu (50c), platypus (20c), lyrebird (10c), echidna (5c), frilled-neck lizard (2c) and feathertail glider (1c). Stuart Devlin’s magnificent portrayals of our wildlife captured the essence of an increasingly independent Australia, and the designs are still cherished, even 60 years after the changeover to the decimal system.

Uniting Stuart Devlin’s depictions of all seven of the animals found on our first decimal coins, this coin is struck to Proof quality from 1/10oz of 99.99% pure, glittering gold.
