Where it came from
Released by the Royal Australian Mint in 2013, this twenty-cent piece was issued to commemorate the centenary of the first Australian banknote, the ten-shilling note. The coin serves as a historical bridge, honoring the transition from the pound sterling system to the decimal currency introduced in 1966. Its design integrates elements of the original 1913 note, reflecting the evolving visual identity of Australian financial history during the early twentieth century.
The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, a standard portrait used on Australian coinage during that period. The reverse, designed by the Royal Australian Mint's design team, features a stylized interpretation of the original ten-shilling banknote design. The release was aimed at numismatists and the general public alike, fitting into the Mint’s broader program of celebrating significant anniversaries of national milestones.
