***THIS COIN IS CIRCULATED***
Mintage: 2mil
 
In 2019 Australian coins transitioned to a new effigy designed by Jody Clark. The new effigy was the sixth coin portrait to have been created during the Queen's reign. This new effigy marked over 100 years of coin designers making a definitive coinage portrait. The introduction of this effigy was largely symbolic, in keeping with the tradition of periodically updating Her Majesty’s image on Commonwealth coinage.
 
The effigy was designed by Jody Clark; an engraver for the Royal Mint located in Wales, UK. Jody Clark’s original effigy was chosen through a closed competition commissioned by the Royal Mint Advisory Committee in 2015.
