| Additional information |
Australia's federation in 1901 was far from inevitable — Western Australia held a referendum on joining only after significant pressure, including a threatened secession movement by the goldfields population who wanted to form their own separate colony if Perth refused to sign on. They joined by a wide margin, but the internal fracture lines were real. The 125th anniversary falls in 2026, the same year this coin enters circulation.
