The coin was issued in 2001 to mark the 100th anniversary of the Australian federation. It commemorates the creation of the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901, which saw six independent British colonies unite to form a single federal state. The coin symbolically refers to the common national heritage by presenting state floral emblems – a characteristic and recognizable motif in Australian tradition. This issue was minted using mirror proof technology and two metals, which gives it a unique collectible character. It is dedicated to both numismatics enthusiasts and those interested in Australian history. The coin was issued in a limited number of copies and originally presented in an elegant collector's case, which further emphasizes its prestigious character. This beautiful bimetallic coin has a star-shaped inner core made of 0.285 ounces of pure gold and an outer ring containing 0.346 ounces of pure silver.
The coin has an elegant and symbolic design, emphasizing both its commemorative and artistic character. It is a bimetallic coin, which means that it is made of two different metals: the central part (core) is made of gold, while the outer ring is made of silver, creating a striking color contrast. The reverse of the coin features a composition of state floral emblems – the floral symbols of each Australian state, which surround a stylized map of the country. The whole design has been created with great attention to detail, and the precise minting emphasizes the delicacy of the floral motifs. The obverse of the coin is traditionally decorated with an image of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, surrounded by inscriptions and the denomination. The surface of the coin is finished in proof quality, which means a mirror-like background and matte relief elements, giving it an impressive, collectible look. The coin is round in shape and, thanks to its bimetallic construction and rich symbolism, is an attractive addition to any numismatic collection.
This unique coin was minted in 2001 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the formation of the Commonwealth of Australia, one of the most important events in Australian history. In 1901, six British colonies: New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, and Tasmania, merged to form a single independent federal state – the Commonwealth of Australia. This process was the result of many years of debate, referendums, and negotiations aimed at creating a united and self-governing nation within the British Empire.
The coin's release in 2001 was part of nationwide celebrations of this special anniversary. The coin's design, which references the floral emblems of the states, reflects the idea of unity in diversity. It highlights the identity of each state while celebrating their shared heritage and contribution to the Australian federation. The choice of a plant motif was not accidental, as each state and territory of Australia has its own official floral emblem, which is an important symbol of local culture, nature, and identity. Thus, the coin not only commemorates a historical fact, but also pays tribute to the natural wealth and symbolic significance of the continent's flora.
