| Additional information |
Issued to mark the centenary of Australian Federation, this coin belongs to a six-piece circulating commemorative series covering each of Australia's six states and two territories. Norfolk Island's inclusion is technically anomalous — the territory was not part of the original 1901 Federation and today retains a separate administrative status under the Norfolk Island Act 1979, having never been a founding jurisdiction in any meaningful constitutional sense.
