Where it came from
The 2001 Centenary of Federation 20-cent coin was issued by the Royal Australian Mint to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the federation of the Australian colonies into a single nation on January 1, 1901. Part of a larger series of commemorative coins released across multiple denominations, this specific design honors the state of Victoria, highlighting its significant role in the historical transition to a federal structure.
The reverse design features the state emblem of Victoria, chosen to distinguish it from the other state-specific coins in the 2001 collection. Like the standard circulating 20-cent coins of the era, the obverse displays Ian Rank-Broadley's fourth effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, which was the official monarchical portrait used on Australian currency from 1999 until 2018. The series was well-received by collectors and the general public, serving as a functional piece of currency that doubled as a collectible marker of Australian political history.
