About this Coin

The 1973 20c coin is a staple of early Australian decimal currency. While over 23 million entered general circulation, finding high-grade specimens today that escaped heavy commercial handling is becoming increasingly difficult for collectors. This About Uncirculated example retains sharp detail on Arnold Machin's Queen portrait and Stuart Devlin's platypus reverse, making it an excellent gap-filler or upgrade for any decimal date-run collection.
