Comment
This coin was released as part of the RAM 2016 Mint and Proof Sets and commemorates the Changeover 50 years ago to decimal currency in Australia. It is unusual in that the Obverse of the coin has a miniature Ian Rank-Broadly Queens Head and a representation of an Australian Sixpence coin as issued between 1953 to 1964. The Reverse of the coin is the same as a standard definitive 20 cent coin. This coin has been released as a circulation coin in 2016 alongside the normal definitive version.
This was the BU Mint Set.
