One Dollar 2021 Kangaroo Penny, Coin from Australia - detailed information

The obverse of the coin shows the laureate young laureate bust of Queen Elizabeth II facing right - her effigy known as the "First Portrait". The laurel wreath in the Queen's hair is tied with a ribbon with two ends flowing behind.

The designer's initials, M·G· (for Mary Gillick) appear incuse on the base of the shoulder truncation.

Around left and around right, the monarch's legend and the date of issue: ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 2021

The reverse design is reminiscent of the second design of the Australian penny denomination, by George Kruger Gray.

Within a toothed border, the design features at its centre a kangaroo leaping to the left. Around above, the legend AUSTRALIA.

Around below, the denomination 1 DOLLAR (instead of the original PENNY); the seven pointed Federation star is in the field to the left of the kangaroo and the date 2021 is in the field below its tail.

Finish: Brilliant Uncirculated.
Packaging: in blister card, as part of a two-coin set.
