Craig Valued Member Australia 112 Posts	Posted 12/28/2014 5:01 pm Hi All, there might already be a thread on this, apologies if there is. Was reading that the effigy of QEII is changing on British coins from 2015 on wards. Will Australia follow this change or continue with the one we have? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukn...xt-year.html Report this Post to the Staff

The wording of that article, and of the Royal Mint press release it is based on, implies the portrait will be changed sometime next year. But it would be odd indeed for the portrait to actually change midway through a year, or for mint set coins to have a different portrait to circulation coins of the same date, so I'm assuming they will actually use it only on 2016-dated coins. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Would be interesting if Perth strikes coins for some countries with the old portrait and coins for others with the new portrait. Report this Post to the Staff

There is an article about it in the latest C & B Magazine which states that the new portrait will appear on 2015 circulating coins and some of the new commemoratives. So some 2015 coins will have the old portrait and some will have the new. Perhaps the RAM will wait until the 2016 coins to change the portrait (and perhaps retire the 5c coin while they are at it) Report this Post to the Staff
