1 Dollar - Elizabeth II 6th Portrait - 150 Years of the RSPCA - Cat

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was established in New South Wales in 1871, making Australia's RSPCA one of the oldest animal welfare organisations in the Southern Hemisphere. The 150th anniversary issue was part of a multi-coin release covering different animals, with the cat reverse produced using pad printing — a technique the Royal Australian Mint has employed selectively since the 2010s to apply colour directly onto the coin surface without a separate insert or capsule.
