Twenty Cents 2011 Ashes, 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 commemorative 20 cents coin was released on 6th November 2010 and commemorates the 2010/11 The Ashes test series cricket played in Brisbane, Australia 25-29 November 2010 - which is an integral part of the Australian summer cricket calendar. The coin is immediately recognisable by its simple yet effective design depicting a cricket ball, with the obverse showing the Queen's effigy in miniature. The coin was issued in a presentation card (Royal Australian Mint Product Code: 310013, issue price: A$6.95) and in a PNC. No coins of this type were issued into circulation. | ||||||
