Comment
This NCLT coin is issued by the RAM in a coincard. A century ago, a group of women met in Sydney to launch a new organisation to represent the rural women of NSW – the Country Women’s Association. By 1936, there were CWA branches across the country and it’s now Australia’s largest non-government organisation for women, with 44,000 members. That 100 years of service and advocacy on behalf of country women and their families is commemorated in this exceptional 2022 $1 coin.
