The 2012 Australian Citizenship $1 Coin makes an ideal gift for anyone preparing to become an Australian citizen. It can represent an affordable keepsake after taking the important "Pledge of Commitment."
Produced by the Perth Mint, the reverse design portrays the Commonwealth Coat of Arms, with six badges for the six States of the Commonwealth on a shield enclosed by an ermine border. The Cost of Amrs is held by a kangaroo and an emu, Australian animals known for only moving forward. The inscription reads "Australian Citizenship" with the "P" mint mark positioned to the right of the design.
The coins are legal tender within Australia for the face value of $1, and struck in aluminum bronze composition.
The coins are packaged within a colored presentation card, which include iconic Australian symbols and a certificate of authenticity. The card folds out to make a display stand.
The 2012 Australian Citizenship $1 Coin may be purchased online from the Perth Mint.
