2021 $1 Copper Uncirculated Two Coin Set: Australian Pennies 1911–1964

The penny has dropped! The Royal Australian Mint is commemorating the 110th anniversary of the introduction of an iconic and historic coin – the Australian Penny (in circulation from 1911 to 1966). This splendid two-coin, copper tribute set is nostalgically reminiscent of the original penny in design, size, and colour.

The once humble penny has become an essential part of the coin collector’s compendium, with the rare 1930 penny holding pride of place as the king of Australian numismatics. Being penny-wise makes perfect 'cents' to the smart collector!
