2024 5C Coin King Charles III Effigy Premium Roll

 

Tradition holds that Australian coins bear an effigy of the reigning Monarch on their obverse. Reflecting the recent succession of His Majesty King Charles III, Australia’s coins are undergoing a transformation not seen for seven decades and one that has not been experienced in the history of our decimal currency.

As an era comes to a close, the new effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Daniel Thorne will assume its place on the obverse for Australia’s legal tender coins. In keeping centuries-old tradition, as the successor, the effigy of His Majesty faces left, the opposite direction from his predecessor.

Struck by Royal Australian Mint from AlBr, these 5 cents coins are issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965
