Title: Do you have a favourite Aussie coin design?
Post by: Triggersmob on August 08, 2014, 06:43:57 PM: I'm very partial to the Ram design, first used on the shilling, and then later on some other coins too.

Prefer the old "bob's" more than the modern decimals.

It is a "One of a kind" and a stunning coin.

In my opinion, Australia has the most attractive coins to date. The USA had and I stress the word had, some very unique designs then gave way to the ugly generics we have now.
