Description

  • Maximum issue of 20,000 three-coin sets

Banjo Paterson’s bush ballads become richly detailed miniature scenes in this Royal Australian Mint three-coin set. A swagman beneath a gum tree, horsemen crossing mountain country and Clancy’s contrast between bush and city give each 2020 50c reverse a distinct narrative. Warm aluminium bronze unifies the designs, while the twelve-sided format frames the fine detail.

Andrew Barton “Banjo” Paterson (1864–1941), born near Orange in New South Wales, was a poet, solicitor, journalist, soldier and war correspondent whose verse helped shape Australia’s image of bush life. This Treasured Australian Poetry set brings three of his best-known works together in illustrated cards that carry the stories beyond the coins. Take a closer look at the complete Banjo Paterson set at FORTYMILLION.

Q. Which poems are represented?
A. Waltzing Matilda, The Man from Snowy River and Clancy of the Overflow, each on its own 2020 50c coin.

Q. Are these gold coins?
A. No. Their warm colour comes from aluminium bronze, not gold or gold plating.

Q. What does Uncirculated mean?
A. These coins were produced for collectors rather than everyday circulation. Uncirculated describes their condition and finish; it is not a certified numerical grade or a promise of flawless surfaces.

Q. What packaging is included?
A. Each coin is mounted in its own illustrated card: green for Waltzing Matilda, blue for The Man from Snowy River and orange for Clancy of the Overflow. The three cards are presented with a Banjo Paterson outer envelope.

Q. Does the 14.09 g weight apply to the whole set?
A. No. Each coin weighs 14.09 g. The three coins together weigh 42.27 g, excluding the cards and envelope.

Q. Does the 20,000 figure represent final production?
A. It is the maximum issue for the three-coin set. The Mint’s 2020–21 production report records 10,000 sets for that reporting period, not a final lifetime production total.
