Comments

This 2021 $1 Copper was issued in a separate coincard within a 2 coin set. It commemorates the 110th anniversary of the introduction of the Australian penny. Each coin is reminiscent of the original pennies, one featuring a simple text design and the other a bounding kangaroo. Each coin also includes the first portrait of Queen Elizabeth II to appear on Australian coins and is complete with uncirculated finish.
