The Aussie Big Things coin collection by the Royal Australian Mint offers a delightful homage to some of Australia's most recognizable oversized landmarks. Featuring vibrant designs, each coin captures the essence of a different Big Thing, from the iconic Big Banana to the towering Big Pineapple. These coins serve as miniature tributes to the quirky roadside attractions that have captured the hearts of travelers across the country.
As the new King Charles III dies were not yet ready for this coin set, all the obverse designs feature a posthumous effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II with the addition of the double dates of her reign, 1952-2022.
Distributed randomly in the sets, one in ten coins has a colored reverse.
