Comments
This Copper-nickel 10 cent coin was first released into circulation by the RAM in 1966. This coin has the standard Stuart Devlin Lyrebird reverse but was updated with the Ralph David Makleouf obverse in 1985. The RDM Obverse was used until 1998 when it was also replaced with the Ian Rank-Broadley obverse.
In 2019 a special release was issued to commemorate "Effigies Over Time" The Arnold Machin effigy was chosen to be used on the 10 cent coin in the set dated 2019.
The Lyrebird is endemic to South East Australia and was introduced to Tasmania in the 1930s. It is able to imitated perfectly numerous other species and sounds.
