A Coin to Celebrate Life's Milestones
Share
Whether you're marking a birthday, commemorating a wedding anniversary, or celebrating a hard-earned graduation, this unique coin offers a truly special way to honour the occasion. Designed to be as personal as the moment itself, it comes packaged like a greeting card, providing ample space for you to add your own heartfelt message.
Created by the Mint's talented designer, Aleksandra Stokic, this coin celebrates special occasions with a vibrant reinterpretation of iconic Australian symbols. "I envisioned this coin as a modern tribute to our beautiful country," explains Aleksandra. "Drawing inspiration from the shimmering glow of gum leaves, the vibrant energy of summer markets, and the sense of unity within our diverse communities, I aimed to capture the spirit of Australia in a truly unique way."
The coin offers a fresh perspective on the Australian Coat of Arms, reimagining Stuart Devlin's classic design with a contemporary, celebratory twist. At its heart, you'll find a playful kangaroo and emu adorned with flowing ribbons, symbolizing the joy and movement of life's milestones. Bright yellow dots, inspired by the iconic wattle – our national floral emblem since 1912 – add a touch of golden warmth, while the delicate weave elements subtly echo the original ribbon motifs, blending tradition with creativity.
"The colourful design celebrates our multiculturalism," says Aleksandra, "while the bold lines reflect the strength of our nation. And the playful details highlight our deep connection to nature and the spirit of adventure that defines us." This unique coin, with its vibrant colours and playful design, makes a truly memorable keepsake for any cherished milestone. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, designed by Daniel Thorne.
