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 Sir George Reid, John Forrest and Sir John Quick who were among the pioneers of the Australian federation movement and played a very significant part in establishing the Commonwealth of Australia.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by sculptors Ian Rank-Broadley, Raphael Maklouf, and Vladimir Gottwald. This fourth portrait of the Queen was introduced in 2000 and was used on Australian coins until 2019. The portrait features a more mature and regal Queen Elizabeth II, with a slightly different crown and a more detailed rendition of her necklace and earrings. This coin is a rare and collectible item, with only a limited number minted, making it a valuable addition to any coin collection.
