Detailed description
Beneath the Southern Skies - 1 Oz
The 1 Oz (31.1 g) gold investment coin issued by the Royal Australian Mint in 2020 in purity of the purest 99.99% gold, entitled Beneath the Southern Skies, is a tribute to Stuart Devlin, who designed a number of Australian circulation coins.
The reverse design is from the Royal Australian Mint archives. It was created by Stuart Devlin in 1964 as one of the first designs for the Australian dollar. It depicts the constellation of the Southern Cross against the backdrop of the Australian continent, complemented by a tiny silhouette of the national symbol, the kangaroo, set in the area of the capital city of Canberra. The coin's field is crossed by meridians, parallels and intersections of the constellation's axis. The design includes the denomination "100 DOLLARS" and the weight and purity of the metal "1 OZ .9999 GOLD".
Australia as a British colony originally used the British pound, which was replaced by the Australian pound in 1909. Both currencies used the same division into 20 shillings, with a shilling consisting of 12 pence. In 1963, the decision to switch to the decimal system was announced. Under the new monetary system, the pound was to be replaced by the Australian dollar with a division into 100 pence.
Part of the preparations included sorting out the coin design of the new currency. Stuart Devlin won the competition and became the designer of Australia's first "decimal" coins, introduced on 14 April 1966.
The obverse features a traditional portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark with the initials "JC" and the inscriptions "ELIZABETH II", "AUSTRALIA" and the year of issue "2020". The coin has the status of Australian legal tender under the Monetary Act 1965.
The coin comes in a protective plastic capsule.
