| Additional information |
Issued as part of the "Masterpieces in Silver" set released for the Sydney Olympics year, this piece belongs to a RAM program that packaged proof-quality strikes of circulating denominations in collector sets — giving the standard 20-cent format a silver substrate it would never see in commerce. The "20th Century Monarchs" framing references the four British sovereigns under whom Australia operated during the 1900s: George V, George VI, Edward VIII, and Elizabeth II.
Edward VIII's tenure of 327 days in 1936 meant no Australian coinage was ever struck bearing his portrait for circulation.
