Where it came from
Released by the Royal Australian Mint in 2019, this one-dollar coin commemorates the centenary of the Great Air Race of 1919. The race was a landmark moment in aviation history, initiated by the Australian government to encourage long-distance flight between Great Britain and Australia. The Sopwith Wallaby, featured on the coin's reverse, was one of the intrepid aircraft that participated in the endeavor, reflecting the adventurous spirit and rapid technological advancements of the post-World War I era.
The design highlights the Sopwith Wallaby in mid-flight, rendered with the technical precision typical of the Mint’s commemorative series. Ian Rank-Broadley’s fourth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II adorns the obverse, maintaining the standard design language for Australian legal tender of the time. The coin was produced for collectors as part of a broader series celebrating Australian history and innovation, receiving positive recognition from numismatists for its historical accuracy and high-quality frosted relief finish.
