Comment

The Royal Australian Mint issued in 2001 a Federation (1901 - 2001) Masterpieces in Silver Proof $5 Dollars, Five Coin Set with reverse designs paying tribute to Outstanding Personalities who contributed to the Federation of Australia.

There were six original separate British self-governing colonies, Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, and Western Australia who agreed to unite and form the Commonwealth of Australia, establishing a system of federalism in Australia.

This coin depicts Andrew Inglis Clark, Sir Henry Parkes and Sir Samuel Griffith who were among the pioneers of the Australian federation movement and contributed greatly to the creation of the federation bill in the UK parliament.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of three different portraits of Queen Elizabeth II, created by three different artists - Ian Rank-Broadley, Raphael Maklouf, and Arnold Machin. This makes it a distinctive and collectible piece for numismatists and fans of the Royal Family.
