The Australian 5 cent coin was first introduced with decimalisation on 14 February 1966 when it replaced the pre-decimal Australian sixpence. The original reverse design by Stuart Devlin has not been changed since its introduction. The denomination is occasionally used by both the Royal Australian Mint and the Perth Mint to issue collector coins, which are legal tender in Australia - such as this one. This coin was issued in the 2019 Royal Australian Mint six-coin annual mints sets (uncirculated and proof). The theme of the sets is the 50th Anniversary of the Moon Landing by the Apollo 11 mission. The sets feature two one-year type Non-Circulating Legal Tender (NCLT) coins: this five cent coin showing the lunar landing site on the Sea of Tranquility, and a one dollar coin showing the Honeysuckle Creek Tracking Station in Australia, which broadcast the historic moonwalk to the entire world. No coins of this type were issued into circulation. | ||||||
