Twenty Cents 2021 Platypus Toy, 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 design was issued in the baby mint sets of the year only; three of the coins in the set are re-imagined versions of the "definitive" types and are designed as baby toys. The twenty-cent coin shows a wind-up platypus in place of the realistic platypus of the definitive design. These coins are Non-Circulating Legal Tender (collector issue). No coins of this type have been released into circulation. | ||||||
