| Additional information |
Australia's first bronze coins — the penny and halfpenny — entered circulation in 1911, replacing the British-minted issues that had served the colonies and early Commonwealth. The centenary being marked here falls precisely on that transition, when a distinctly Australian bronze coinage began in earnest under the newly federated nation's own monetary framework.
The Perth Mint has issued commemoratives in this series with consistent regularity, which keeps secondary market premiums modest for all but the lowest-mintage releases.
