I think it's nice enough. It certainly gets the point across.

I am pretty sure that erkle was referring to the 20 cent coin. The holey dollar coin is an NCLT coin and not a circulation coin like the Canberra 20 cents or the 2012 poppy coin. |

What does everybody think of this design?
Unless you KNOW it is a map of Canberra, it would make NO sense.  Well done on the early pick up of this coin Sel  I wonder if in 2027 they bring out another "Canberra" florin with a Great design on it  |

When I first say the coin pictured it didnt do anything for me. Seeing it in hand it has grown on me.

it looks a bit like the Federation type 20 cent designs to me. The holey dollar coin however is by far my favorite design coin this year. The small portrait of the Queen and the re-introduction of denticals really separates this from all the other offerings so far  |

An early escapee?

. must be one of them coins swapped at a sporting event in Canberra. Good effort getting one in Sydney Mate I cheated and got some from eBay  That way they are Unc or better and I can put the coin straight in my album without having to upgrade at a later date |

I like both coins but there is no doubt "Denticles" add an almost historic allure to a coin.!! |

Hi all,
I'm very new to this forum (1 hour old) but I've always loved coins.
Few weeks ago I had to let go (by accident T_T) a rare $2 aussie coin I have never seen before. It wasn't the remembrance coin.
The back had written celebration of a century/celebrating 100 years or something similar.
It had the picture of the parliament house inside an inner circle relief.
I could not find info on this coin anywhere! (Makes me even sadder that I accidentally let go of it ! The frustration!)
Has anyone else seen this? Is it normal for the designs not to be listed on mint sites?
Is this part of 2013 new circulation?
Im so curious I couldn't sleep...
