To mark the Centenary of Rotary in Australia, the Royal Australian Mint (the Mint) released two commemorative coins.
Both coins represent a unique opportunity for Rotarians and for those whose lives have been touched by Rotary to celebrate this incredible milestone.
Assistant Treasurer Michael Sukkar said celebrating Rotary Australia’s Centenary is an opportunity to reflect on the significant contribution Rotarians have made throughout Australia and in our region.
“Over the last century, Rotarians have made an enormous difference to the lives of countless Australians, and to those throughout the Pacific region, through their practical approach to create change to improve health and education, as well as fight disease,” Minister Sukkar said.
In 1921, the first Rotary charter in Australia was established in Melbourne. Soon after, a charter was established in Sydney.
Over the course of a century, Rotary’s footprint in Australia has expanded to over 1,100 clubs nationally with more than 25,000 members. The Australian clubs are part of a broader movement of 1.2 million Rotarians in nearly 33,000 clubs around the world.
Rotary’s Mark of Excellence, the Rotary Wheel, is featured in the centre of the limited edition $5 Silver Proof Coin and $1 Coloured Uncirculated Coin. The Wheel is surrounded by the five core values of Rotary – Integrity, Service, Diversity, Fellowship and Leadership – and the centenary dates of the establishment of Rotary in Australia.
The Centenary of Rotary 2021 $1 Coloured Uncirculated Coin is available in a limited mintage of 40,000, retailing for $15.00. The Centenary of Rotary 2021 $5 Silver Proof Coin is available in a limited mintage of 3,000 retailing for $105.00.
The coins are Australian legal tender.
