Overview

The reverse features a superb lyrebird with its tail feathers spread and the numeral '10'. The design was created by Stuart Devlin, as indicated by the 'SD' initials at the bottom right.

Historical significance

Introduced on February 14, 1966, this coin was part of Australia's transition to a decimal currency system, replacing the Australian shilling. The lyrebird design is iconic to Australian coinage and has remained largely unchanged since its inception.

Estimated value

Circulated coins are generally worth face value ($0.10 AUD). Rare mint years or coins in uncirculated/proof condition can be valued between $1.00 and $20.00 USD.

Care & preservation

Avoid cleaning the coin with chemicals or abrasives as this destroys numismatic value. Store in a cool, dry place within a PVC-free coin holder or capsule to prevent oxidation and scratches.
