Honours iconic Australian poet Dorothea Mackellar.
Celebrates Mackellar’s poem My Country, first published under that name in 1911.
Rare ‘off-metal’ 50c – struck in aluminium-bronze, rather than the
traditional copper-nickel!
Each 31.50mm Australian legal tender coin struck to Uncirculated
standard.
Strictly limited edition set at an incredibly low 2,500!
Presented within an official Royal Australian Mint card.
Not issued for circulation and never found in change!
STRICT LIMIT OF ONE COIN PER HOUSEHOLD*
A stunning release from the Royal Australian Mint, this tribute to Dorothea Mackellar and her classic poem My Country is not struck from the traditional alloy of copper-nickel – it’s struck from ALUMINIUM-BRONZE!
Capturing the essence of the Australian landscape through her evocative, vibrant poetry, Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968) is one of Australia’s most iconic poets. Tapping into the collective soul of the nation, her poetry still resonates today, with My Country – including the legendary lines “I love a sunburnt country, A land of sweeping plains” – being the most famous.
Enshrining the lyrical beauty of Mackellar’s work in official Australian legal tender, this entrancing tribute to My Country is among the most beautifully designed coins ever issued by the RAM. An exquisite work of numismatic art, sure to be targeted as an affordable tribute to one of Australia’s most famous poets, there is no doubt that the Dorothea Mackellar My Country 2025 50c Aluminium-Bronze Uncirculated Coin will also be highly sought after by collectors.
‘Off-metal’ strikings are always immensely popular, and as this is one of very few occasions that the Royal Australian Mint has struck the 50c in aluminium-bronze, overwhelming demand is anticipated. Importantly, this unique, one-year-only type will not be issued for circulation and will never be found in change!
With the limited edition of this spellbinding coin set at a mere 2,500, and our allocation tiny, we must impose a limit of one coin per household. Do not delay your order. Click add to cart now!
