Where it came from
The Australian 10-cent coin featuring the lyrebird has been a staple of the nation's circulating currency since the introduction of decimal coinage in 1966, originally based on a design by Stuart Devlin. This specific 2001 proof strike features the fourth effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, which began appearing on Australian coinage in 1999 to offer a more mature and realistic representation of the monarch.
Struck in gold to celebrate the centenary of the Federation of Australia, this proof issue elevates the standard cupro-nickel lyrebird design into a commemorative collectible. The lyrebird, renowned for its intricate tail feathers and mimicry, remains a symbol of Australian wildlife, and its inclusion in precious metal proof sets is intended for collectors seeking high-fidelity examples of national numismatic history.
