Overview

Features the numeral '10' superimposed over a superb lyrebird (Menura novaehollandiae) tailored into a circular design. The reverse (not shown) features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.

Historical significance

Introduced in 1966 as part of Australia's transition to decimal currency, replacing the shilling. The design by Stuart Devlin has remained largely unchanged for over 50 years, making it an iconic piece of Australian currency.

Estimated value

$0.10 - $2.00 AUD (dependent on year and condition; most circulated examples are worth face value)

Care & preservation

Avoid cleaning with harsh chemicals or abrasives to preserve the original surface. Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a non-PVC coin holder or capsule to prevent oxidation and 'green slime' damage.
