| Additional information |
Issued to mark the centenary of the Royal Australian Navy's establishment — though the RAN was formally founded in 1911, the 2001 date commemorates the passage of the Naval Defence Act of 1901, which created the legislative framework for an independent Australian naval force at Federation. The distinction matters: this coin marks the legal birth, not the operational one.
