Twenty Cents 2009 Year of Astronomy (NCLT), Coin from Australia - detailed information
| ||||||
The Australian 20 cent coin was first introduced with decimalisation on 14 February 1966 when it replaced the pre-decimal Australian florin, to which it is equal in size and mass. 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 2009 International Year of Astronomy mint sets only - uncirculated six-coin sets (they were also released at various ANDA shows during the year with an ANDA overprint), as well as two-coin proof sets. No coins of this type were issued into circulation. | ||||||
