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 collector sets only. The date of issue is during the reign of King Charles III; however, the coins in the set feature various monarch effigies used in Australia since the introduction of decimal currency, and the 20 cents has a "memorial" obverse with the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Raphael Maklouf (her Third Definitive Portrait) and the dates of her reign, 1952 - 2022. This portrait was used in Australia from 1985 to 1998. No coins of this type were issued into circulation. | ||||||
