Comments

This NCLT $1 coin was issued by the RAM in 2001 in a Coincard to mark the 90th Anniversary of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN).



The reverse shows the RAN badge surrounded by the legend Royal Australian Navy 1911 - 2001. The RAN badge was adopted in 1949, it depicts the Queens crown on top of a knotted rope surround. In the surround is an anchor and chain, the words Royal Australian Navy, and at the bottom the Australian Federation Star.

A special Three Coin Folder was also issued in 2001 that included the Army and Airforce Anniversary coins.
