Comment
Released on 3rd September 2018 by the RAM in a coincard is this NCLT $1 coin which commemorates the use of Ian Rank-Broadley's portrait of the Queen used on Australian coins from 1998 to 2019. In Australia and the UK this was widely known as the "4th Portrait". In effect this appears to be a two headed coin because the IRB Obverse has been used on the Reverse of this coin.
