2020 Six Coin Base Metal Uncirculated Year Set - Clark Effigy Set
Description
This 2020 Uncirculated Six-Coin Year Set signals the introduction of the sixth and newest effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on all Australian coins produced by the Royal Australian Mint. The effigy is an adaptation of a design by United Kingdom coin engraver Jody Clark.
In 2018 the Australian Government announced that a new effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II would be adopted on all Australian circulating and collectible coins. This 2020 Uncirculated Six-Coin Set heralds the formal integration of the new effigy on all of Australian coins produced by the Royal Australian Mint.
The Clark effigy is the sixth effigy of the Queen that has featured on Australia’s coins since her Coronation in 1953. In line with tradition, Her Majesty is depicted facing to the right. In Clark’s effigy the Queen is wearing the Royal Diamond Diadem, which she wore at her Coronation. The reverse designs for this set feature each of the six standard circulating designs by Stuart Devlin and Horst Hahne.
