RAM bag of 10 @ $45
The 2020 $1 Qantas Centenary coin is highly popular due to its combination of cultural significance, limited mintage, and attractive, thematic design commemorating Australia's "Flying Kangaroo". Released by the Royal Australian Mint (RAM) to celebrate 100 years of the airline, it has become a staple for both aviation enthusiasts and coin collectors.
The coin celebrates Qantas’s 100th birthday (1920-2020), marking its journey from a small Queensland outback service to a global airline.
Qantas is deeply ingrained in Australian history and identity, often referred to as the "Spirit of Australia," making it a sought-after memorabilia item.
The reverse side, designed by Stevan Stojanovic, features a stylized Boeing Dreamliner flying through the number "100".
The decorative pattern on the "100" numeral represents fingerprints, symbolizing the airline's connection to Australians. The iconic Qantas "Flying Kangaroo" is prominently featured.
While intended for circulation, the mintage was relatively limited, with a total of 2 million coins struck.
