Where it came from
The 2012 Australian Miniature Money Gold Proof series was issued by the Royal Australian Mint to celebrate the heritage of Australia's decimal currency. This specific one-cent piece commemorates the original design by Stuart Devlin, which first entered circulation in 1966. By rendering this iconic image in miniature form using .9999 fine gold, the Mint aimed to offer a prestigious, highly detailed tribute to a coin that had been withdrawn from active circulation decades earlier.
The obverse features the fourth effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, which has been a staple of Australian coinage since 1999. The series was designed to appeal to numismatists interested in the evolution of Australian decimal design, focusing on the technical challenge of miniaturization while maintaining the fidelity of Devlin’s original illustration of the feathertail glider. It was received as a premium collector's item, emphasizing the nostalgic value of the nation's early decimal history.
