About this Coin:

The 2003 "Volunteers" 20c is a favourite among decimal collectors due to its intricate "kaleidoscope" reverse. Unlike the standard platypus design, this commemorative was only produced for a single year. Because the mintage was restricted to 7.6 million—low compared to standard 20c releases—finding pristine examples in general circulation is now quite rare. Sourcing these from a Mint Set ensures they haven't been subjected to the wear and tear of daily use, making them an ideal upgrade for your collection.
