Where it came from
The 2001 Centenary of Federation 20-cent coin was issued by the Royal Australian Mint to commemorate one hundred years of the Australian federation. This piece is part of a broader series of commemorative circulation coins released that year, each representing one of the six states and two territories. The design serves as a historical marker for the 1901 constitution that united the colonies into a single nation.
The Queensland design features the state's floral emblem, the Cooktown Orchid, set against a stylized outline of the state map. The reverse was developed as part of a national program to engage the public and highlight regional identities during the centenary celebrations. The obverse features Ian Rank-Broadley's depiction of Queen Elizabeth II, which was the standard effigy utilized on Australian currency throughout this period.
