About this Coin

The 2007 "Surf Lifesaver" 20c is a standout commemorative because it was the first time the Royal Australian Mint included a design in the Annual Mint Set that was completely withheld from general circulation. Because it is a "set-only" date, it is a critical piece for any collector aiming to complete a full 20c date run. The dynamic design pays a fitting tribute to the volunteers who have patrolled Australian beaches for over a century.
