Coin 6 - 2021 V-Victa Lawnmower - 1 Dollar Coin
This circulating commemorative dollar coin is part of the The Great Aussie Coin Hunt 2 campaign - a series of 26 different $1 coins where each features a letter of the English alphabet and an Australian symbol starting with that letter. The coin for the letter V features the Victa Lawnmower.
V is for Victa Lawnmower - the soundtrack to suburban Australia. The Victa Lawnmower has been cutting lawns since 1952, when the first prototype was made from scrap metal and a peach tin in a garage by Mervyn Victor Richardson. While not the first lawnmower to be invented, the Victa was comparatively lighter and more powerful, creating significant demand for the product. Now almost 70 years on, Victa Lawnmowers are well and truly entrenched in Australian society and also exported abroad.
The obverse of the coin depicts the crowned old bust of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing the Royal Diamond Diadem crown worn for her Coronation (effigy known as the "Fifth Portrait" worldwide but "Sixth Portrait" in Australia, where the Queen's portrait by Vladimir Gottwald was fifth).
The Queen also wears the Coronation Necklace; originally made for Queen Victoria in 1858, it was also worn at the coronations (as Queen's Consort) of Queen Alexandra in 1902, Queen Mary in 1911 and Queen Elizabeth (the Queen mother) in 1937. Unlike on British coinage, the effigy is "uncouped" (includes the Queen's shoulders) and extends almost to the rim of the coin; consequently, the legend does not run continuously around the rim.
The artist's initials JC (for Jody Clark) are in tiny letters below left. Around the effigy is the monarch's legend and the date: ELIZABETH II · AUSTRALIA 2021
