Historical Context: This 2021 Australian One Dollar coin features the Sixth Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark, representing her contemporary reign. It is a key release from "The Great Aussie Coin Hunt 2" (GACR2) series by the Royal Australian Mint. This popular initiative celebrated Australian identity through an A-Z alphabetical sequence, engaging collectors. The 'O' coin specifically highlights the iconic Australian Outback, a defining national landscape.
Artistry: The obverse presents Jody Clark's elegant Sixth Effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, a modern and refined royal portrayal. The reverse design, characteristic of the GACR2 series, employs a contemporary illustrative style. It features a stylized depiction of the Australian Outback, ingeniously integrating the letter 'O'. This artistic approach, typically by Royal Australian Mint designers, prioritizes clear, engaging iconography, reflecting a populist commemorative aesthetic.
Technical/Grading: Struck in aluminium bronze (92% Copper, 6% Aluminium, 2% Nickel), weighing 9 grams and measuring 25 millimeters, this coin adheres to standard circulating commemorative specifications. For optimal grading, examine the obverse's high-points: the Queen's hair, crown, and drapery. On the reverse, critical areas include the definition of the Outback landscape and the crispness of the integrated 'O'. A full, even strike, minimal contact marks, and original luster are paramount for high uncirculated grades.
