PiVi1962 New Member Italy 19 Posts	Posted 12/14/2007 8:06 pm I bought the "Discover Australia" three-years set. While on the presentation pages on the Perth Mint site there is clearly written that Queen's Elizabeth image is by Ian Rank-Broadley, there is no mention of the authors of the other side of the coin. The monograms are "WR", "RV", "JR" (for the landscapes and the fauna) and no monogram for the flora. Can any Australian help me in recognizing the authors? Thanks in advance from Italy Report this Post to the Staff

gnome Valued Member Australia 372 Posts	Posted 12/15/2007 9:55 pm Not a 100% sure on this, however there is an article in this month's CAB, on members from the Perth Mint. The initials probably are for WR, Wade Robinson, RV Ryan Vanderwiel,not sure on the JR, however there is a mention of Justin Graham. One more member of the team is Darryl Bellotti. Hope this points you in the right direction. Report this Post to the Staff
PiVi1962 New Member Italy 19 Posts	Posted 12/16/2007 03:43 am Thank you very much. I double checked the monograms, and they are correct. You can find them also on the Currency Determination 2004 No. 4 at this internet page http://www.comlaw.gov.au/ComLaw/Leg...OpenDocument I will send an email to the Perth Mint suggesting to include the name of the coin designer/engraver to the presentations in their site, especially in the case that his/her monogram appears on the coin. I really appreciate the design of the Gray Kangaroo http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/...garoomm5.jpg by WR ... Wade Robinson; and of the Platypus http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/...typusko7.jpg by RV ... Ryan Vanderwiel. Thanky you very much. Report this Post to the Staff
PiVi1962 New Member Italy 19 Posts	Posted 12/30/2007 12:44 pm I found (almost certainly) also the last author: "JR" should be the monogram of Jovan Radanovich. Report this Post to the Staff
PiVi1962 New Member Italy 19 Posts	Posted 09/17/2008 04:45 am I'm waiting for the arrival of the last year of the series. While preparing the cards for the new coins, I noticed there is a new monogram on them. After an Internet reserch, I think I found all the people linked to the monograms: SB - Shevaun Bushenhofen JR - Jovan Radanovich WR - Wade Robinson RV - Ryan Vanderwiel Report this Post to the Staff
