Where it came from
The 2013 Australian 20-cent coin featuring the fourth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II was minted by the Royal Australian Mint as part of their ongoing commemorative and numismatic programs. This specific selectively gold-plated proof version was crafted to appeal to collectors seeking a more refined, decorative finish than the standard circulation currency. By applying a layer of fine gold to the design elements, the mint highlighted the relief of the platypus—the reverse motif designed by Stuart Devlin—and the monarch's effigy, creating a contrast between the gold plating and the mirrored field of the coin.
The portrait of Queen Elizabeth II featured on this issue was created by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose design had been in use on Australian decimal coinage since 1999. This effigy was known for its realistic and slightly more mature portrayal of the Queen, replacing the previous Raphael Maklouf design. As a proof strike, this coin was produced with specialized dies and polished blanks to ensure a high-quality, reflective surface, catering to the Australian numismatic market's demand for high-grade specimens that celebrate national symbols through precious metal accents.
