Coin’s
obverse features Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II effigy sculpted by Ian Rank-Broadley.

A brief annotation
To celebrate Australia’s premier rock band AC/DC turning 45 in 2018, the Royal Australian Mint presented its first ever nickel plated coin. Not only black, this innovative coin, minted on our sought-after triangular blank, has its design inverted for the first time to resemble a guitar pick and is finished with AC/DC’s high voltage logo in vibrant colour print.
