Where it came from
The 2012 Australian 20-cent coin featuring the 'Wheat Fields of Gold' design was released by the Royal Australian Mint to commemorate the 46th anniversary of Australia's transition to decimal currency. The design honors the original 1966 Stuart Devlin platypus motif while incorporating elements that celebrate the country's agricultural heritage and the significance of wheat production to the national economy.
The obverse features Ian Rank-Broadley’s mature effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, a standard for Australian coinage during this period. The reverse, designed by Wojciech Pietranik, utilizes a selective gold plating technique over the nickel-plated steel surface to highlight the wheat stalks. It was marketed primarily to the collector market as a commemorative circulation-style piece, aiming to blend traditional numismatic themes with modern aesthetic finishing.
