Overview

The obverse features the right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Arnold Machin, with the inscriptions 'ELIZABETH II', 'AUSTRALIA', and the year '1967'. The reverse (not shown) depicts a Superb Lyrebird.

Historical significance

1967 was only the second year of issue for decimal currency in Australia, which replaced the Australian Pound in 1966. This specific design was part of the original set of decimal coins introduced during this transition.

Estimated value

$0.10 - $2.00 USD (Circulated value is generally face value; higher for uncirculated specimens)

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning or polishing the coin as this can cause micro-scratches and significantly reduce its numismatic value. Use PVC-free coin holders for long-term storage.
