Celebrate 100 Years of Australia's Coat of Arms

Commemorative Coin Details:

  • Mintages:
    • Canberra (C Mint Mark): 154,000
    • Sydney ([S] Privy Mark): 32,529
    • Melbourne ([M] Privy Mark): 42,094
    • Brisbane ([B] Privy Mark): 43,133

About the Australian Coat of Arms:

Granted by King Edward VII in 1908, the Australian Coat of Arms officially represents our nation. You'll find it on passports, official documents, and government property. A major change occurred in 1912 – the shield now incorporates emblems of each Australian state. Did you know the kangaroo and emu symbolise Australia's forward progress, as they cannot easily move backward?

Condition: 

  • Original Packaging: Each coin is supplied with its original coin card, preserving its authenticity. Please note that some cards may have minor folds due to their age, but all remain in good, clean condition.
  • Preservation: To ensure long-term protection, some coins may be transferred to archival-quality Mylar coin flips.
  • Natural Character: As with many coins of this age, some may display toning due to natural ageing and storage, further enhancing their unique character.
