1920 – 2020

                           Qantas Centenary
       In 2020, Qantas – Australia’s own ‘Flying Kangaroo’ – celebrates its centenary. Founded in 1920 in Winton,
    Queensland, Qantas started business with two aircraft and three staff, providing vital support to isolated graziers.
                 For a century, Qantas has connected Australians with each other and with the world.
         In recognition of 100 years of Australia’s pioneering air service the Royal Australian Mint proudly
                presents the Qantas Centenary – 2020 Silver Proof Coin and 2020 Gold Plated Coin.
                               Celebrate this historic occasion with these striking coins.

2020 TOOTH FAIRY KIT

                                       Tooth Fairy
     The legend of the Tooth Fairy has been treasured by Australian children since the 1920s, based on centuries-old
       traditions of replacing baby teeth with a gift. In modern times parents and grandparents often enhance the
                                          sense of magic with special keepsakes.
            This kit celebrates the special relationship between the Tooth Fairy and the Royal Australian Mint,
                                   official supplier of coins to the Tooth Fairy in Australia.
             This Tooth Fairy Kit is a magical keepsake containing a special coin, a bamboo toothbrush,
                a floating glitter fairy pen, a tooth chart and a special message from the Tooth Fairy.

              Eureka! Australia’s Gold Rush

                The Royal Australian Mint is proud to present the 2020 Mintmark Suite of uncirculated and proof coins,
         which bring to life the impact of the Gold Rush on the development of modern Australia. The discovery of gold in
       Australia transformed colonies into thriving communities and old penal settlements into places of shining opportunity.
          As Australia’s population and cities grew rapidly with prospectors from around the world, the wealth generated
                                            from gold launched a rush towards Federation.
         The contributions made to Australia’s development by new and growing communities during the gold rushes
                               are celebrated with these stunning coins. Secure yours today.

                                            Possum Magic
                Since the publication of Possum Magic in 1983, Mem Fox’s lyrical prose and Julie Vivas’ whimsical illustrations
               have captured the imaginations of young Australian readers. A perennial favourite, this delightful tale is a fitting
                    theme for the Royal Australian Mint’s Baby Year Set which, like Possum Magic, celebrates the wonders
                                             of Australia and the importance of love and family.
             Featuring a special coloured 50c coin or token; these sets will be cherished by the precious possum in your life.

                    of the current circulating coins, with the new Clark effigy on the obverse of each coin.
   These are the first sets to feature the Jody Clark effigy on all of Australia’s six circulating coin designs. Order today.

        In 1919, six Australian air crews and two Frenchmen took to the skies in rickety planes of timber and canvas, racing to
      become the first to fly from England to Australia. The centenary of the Great Air Race is commemorated with this stunning
             set of eight coins in a collectible tin, including a special booklet telling the stories of danger, drama, and the
                                                     unimaginable courage of the crews.
                 Each coin design includes a beautifully sculpted plane bordered by the names of the crew members
                                                 who participated in the great race.
