Where it came from
Released in 2001, this 20-cent coin was part of a special commemorative series issued by the Royal Australian Mint to mark the Centenary of Federation. Each of the six Australian states and two territories was represented by its own unique design on the reverse of the 20-cent piece, highlighting the distinct history and heraldry of each region. The South Australia design features the state's floral emblem, the Sturt's Desert Pea, positioned alongside a stylized representation of the state's outline.
The obverse of the coin features Ian Rank-Broadley's fourth effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, which was standard for Australian coinage during this period. The series was designed to engage the public with national history, and the South Australian edition was widely distributed into circulation across the country. Collectors often seek out these pieces as a set, as they serve as a tangible record of the celebration of Australia's centennial as a federated nation.
