Where it came from
The 2011 Australian 20-cent coin was issued by the Royal Australian Mint to commemorate the International Year of Volunteers. Released on the tenth anniversary of the 2001 International Year of Volunteers, the design serves as a tribute to the millions of Australians who contribute their time and effort to community service. The release highlights the integral role volunteerism plays in the social fabric of Australia, marking the government's continued recognition of civic engagement.
The reverse design was crafted by Royal Australian Mint designer Vladimir Gottwald. His composition features a stylized central motif representing the spirit of volunteerism, incorporating a series of interconnected shapes that symbolize teamwork and community strength. The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, which was the standard portrait used on Australian decimal currency during this period. The coin was produced as a circulating commemorative piece, intended to be found in everyday change while serving as a tangible acknowledgment of social contribution.
