Where it came from
The 2013 Australian 20-cent coin featuring the Centenary of Australian Banknotes design was issued by the Royal Australian Mint to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the first Australian pound banknote, which was issued in 1913. This commemorative piece highlights the historical evolution of the nation's currency system, bridging the transition from the pound sterling system to the decimal currency introduced in 1966.
The reverse design, crafted by Royal Australian Mint designer Vladimir Gottwald, features a stylized depiction of the original five-pound note issued in 1913. The obverse displays Ian Rank-Broadley's portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which was the standard effigy for Australian coinage during that period. The coin was released into general circulation to serve as a tangible piece of Australian fiscal history, intended to engage the public with the centennial milestone of the nation's paper money.
