Twenty Cents 2022 AC/DC - Let There Be Rock, 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The Queen also wears the Coronation Necklace; originally made for Queen Victoria in 1858, it was also worn at the coronations (as Queen's Consort) of Queen Alexandra in 1902, Queen Mary in 1911 and Queen Elizabeth (the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 2022 · 20 CENTS ·.

The reverse shows at its centre part of a guitar, with not one but two left hands on the string - representing the speed with which lead guitarist Angus Young typically plays.

Surrounding the centre, a black ring printed over fine, concentric circles representing the grooves on a vinyl record. Inscribed on that, around above: 45th ANNIVERSARY OF LET THERE BE ROCK ALBUM.

The face value and denomination are on the obverse.

Finish:Brilliant Uncirculated.
Packaging: in capsule representing a vinyl record, in packaging which resembles a vinyl record cover - the image on which matches the design of the coin.
