Australia Day coin designed by Vladimir Gottwald

Commemorating and celebrating Australia Day and designed by the Royal Australian Mint in consultation with the National Australia Day Council, this 50 cent coin marks the spirit of this significant national celebration and will soon be available around the country.

The coin design, by Mint sculptor Vladimir Gottwald, features an artistic impression of Australia made out of ribbons with a circle of people surrounding the country. The ribbons have been adapted from the official Australia Day logo.

“This coin design captures the essence of togetherness and the ribbons convey a sense of spirit, pride and celebration,” the Assistant Treasurer said.
