Where it came from
The 2015 Australian 20-cent coin featuring the Australian Flying Corps was issued by the Royal Australian Mint to commemorate the centenary of the First World War. This piece belongs to the Anzac Centenary Coin Program, a multi-year series designed to honor the service and sacrifice of Australians during the Great War. The specific design pays tribute to the Australian Flying Corps, which was formed in 1914 and served as the precursor to the Royal Australian Air Force.
The reverse design, sculpted by Royal Australian Mint artist Wojciech Pietranik, features a stylized depiction of an aircraft from the period, reflecting the early and hazardous nature of aerial warfare. The obverse displays Ian Rank-Broadley’s effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, which was the standard portrait for Australian coinage at the time. The coin was released into general circulation to serve as a tangible historical touchstone, intended to educate the public about Australia's pioneering role in military aviation history.
