Honouring the iconic Ram’s Head design, and forming a brilliant tribute to the most momentous milestone in Australia’s monetary history, we are proud to present the Australia Decimal Changeover 3-Coin Set!
On February the 14th, 1966, Australia saw the formal introduction of decimal currency. The system it replaced – a remarkably complex system inherited from Britain – had underpinned the economy of the Great Southern Land since the time of European settlement in 1788. Celebrating one of the greatest, most distinctive Australian coin designs, this unique trio captures both sides of the nation’s predecimal/decimal currency crossroads.
An entirely fitting tribute to decimalisation, this set includes three coins bearing the Ram’s Head design. Arguably the most iconic predecimal motif, along with the Bounding Roo, the Ram’s Head design depicted the Champion of the 1932 Sydney Sheep Show. The design was created by artist and graphic designer Douglas Annand, and adapted for coinage by George Kruger Gray.
Representing Australia’s agricultural heritage, Kruger Gray’s Ram’s Head design first featured upon the predecimal silver shilling, including the Queen Elizabeth II 1953-63 Shilling. The motif was superbly adapted by Horst Hahne for the 1991 Decimal 25th Anniversary 50c, and then employed on Australia’s one & only 50c ‘obverse commemorative’ – the 2016 Decimal 50th Anniversary 50c. Beautifully presented within an illustrated, informative pack, all three key Australian legal tender types are included in this set!
