Description

This NCLT Coin Set was issued by the RAM as part of a six coin set to commemorate the Change of Monarch. The Set was released on 8th February 2024. The set contains six coins, five of them (5c, 10c, 20c, 50c & $1) with different effigies of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse. The $2 coin in the set has the first effigy of King Charles III on its obverse.

According to centuries-old tradition, Australia's coins bear an effigy of the reigning monarch on their obverse. Queen Elizabeth II was Australia's longest-serving monarch. Although new effigies are introduced rarely, there have been six effigies of the Queen on Australia's coins prior to her death all facing right.

Mary Gillick (1953-1964), Arnold Machin (1966-1984), Raphael Makleouf (1985-1998), Vladimir Gottwald (2000, 1 coin only), Ian Rank-Broadly (1998-2019) and Jody Clark (2019-2024).

The Set was issued in the new style hard plastic case which is inserted in a cardboard outer slipcard sleeve.
