One Dollar 2021 Dreaming Down Under - Wombat, Coin from Australia - detailed information

The obverse of the coin depicts the crowned old bust of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing the Royal Diamond Diadem crown worn for her Coronation (effigy known as the "Fifth Portrait" worldwide but "Sixth Portrait" in Australia, where the Queen's portrait by Vladimir Gottwald was fifth).

The Queen also wears the Coronation Necklace; originally made for Queen Victoria in 1858, it was also worn at the coronations (as Queen's Consort) of Queen Alexandra in 1902, Queen Mary in 1911 and Queen Elizabeth (the Queen mother) in 1937.

Unlike on British coinage, the effigy is "uncouped" (includes the Queen's shoulders). In small letters on the left, the artist's initials JC (for Jody Clark).

Running continuously around the rim is the monarch's legend, the date of issue and the face value: ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 2021 · 1 DOLLAR ·.

The reverse of the coin is coloured and depicts a cute baby wombat asleep in a fleece-lined twig basket. The rim is decorated with Australian native flowers and wildlife. The designer's initials EM (for Elise Martinson) are incuse on a gumnut below right.

The Perth Mint’s P mint mark is on the left.

There is no inscription.

Finish: Brilliant Uncirculated.
Packaging: in a PNC. As well as featuring a coloured representation of the young animal, the illustrated postage paid envelope also features a Greenbushes WA post mark dated 13 July 2021.
