| Additional information |
Queen Elizabeth II was born on 21 April 1926, making 2026 her centenary year — a milestone the Royal Australian Mint is marking in advance, as commemorative programs of this scale require production lead time that routinely pushes issue dates ahead of the anniversary itself. This is also among the earliest coins to carry the first portrait of Charles III adopted by the Royal Australian Mint, a effigy by sculptor Dolores Fairbairn that replaced the definitive Jody Clark portrait used across most Commonwealth issues.
