Where it came from
The 2003 Australian 20-cent coin was issued by the Royal Australian Mint to commemorate the International Year of Volunteers. It serves as a tribute to the significant social and economic contributions made by volunteers across the Australian community, a theme that highlights the nation's cultural emphasis on altruism and civic participation.
The reverse side of the coin features a design by Vladimir Gottwald, a long-time mint designer. His work depicts a stylized array of hands reaching toward a central point, symbolizing the cooperative effort and collective spirit of volunteerism. The obverse features the standard Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, which was the conventional portrait used on Australian coinage during that period.
