Historical significance

Introduced in 1966 with the decimalization of Australian currency, replacing the Shilling. The design by Stuart Devlin has remained largely unchanged since its inception, celebrating Australia's unique native fauna.

Estimated value

$0.10 - $2.00 USD (Depending on the year and circulation condition; rare error years or uncirculated specimens may be worth more)

Care & preservation

Do not clean with abrasive chemicals or polish, as this can destroy the coin's numismatic value. Store in a PVC-free plastic flip or a cool, dry place to prevent 'green slime' or environmental toning.
