Where it came from
The Australian 20-cent coin featuring the surf lifesaver was issued in 2007 to commemorate the centenary of Surf Life Saving in Australia. The design commemorates the founding of the first surf lifesaving club at Bondi Beach in 1907, an organization that has since become an integral part of Australian coastal culture and safety.
The reverse design was created by Wojciech Pietranik, a renowned medalist who also designed the medals for the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. His depiction features a surf lifesaver patrolling the beach with a reel, a classic piece of historical equipment used to rescue swimmers. The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which was the standard effigy used on Australian coinage at the time.
