The 1997 Australian 25 Dollar Gold Bullion Coin featuring Elizabeth II (3rd Portrait - Year of the Ox) has a unique feature. It's not commonly known, but the coin's design was created by a young artist named Wojciech Pietranik, who was only 25 years old at the time. This was his first coin design for the Royal Australian Mint, and it was a remarkable achievement for someone so young. The coin's design features a majestic ox, symbolizing strength and determination, surrounded by intricate details and the coin's denomination. The obverse side features the traditional portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, also designed by Pietranik. This coin is not only a beautiful representation of the Year of the Ox but also a testament to the talent and creativity of its designer.
