Where it came from
This 2024 ten-cent coin was issued by the Royal Australian Mint as part of an ongoing series featuring the iconic lyrebird design, which has appeared on the reverse of this denomination since Australia transitioned to decimal currency in 1966. The lyrebird illustration was originally created by artist Stuart Devlin, whose work served as the visual identity for the Australian decimal coins for decades, celebrating the nation's unique fauna through precise and elegant metalwork.
The obverse of this specific issue features the second definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II created by Arnold Machin, a design choice maintained for commemorative purposes following the transition to the effigy of King Charles III. Machin's portrait, which depicts the Queen wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, is considered one of the most recognizable numismatic portraits of the twentieth century and remains a staple of Australian minting history for collectors who appreciate continuity in design.
