2011 Australian Wool Uncirculated 2 Coin Set

The arrival of the Merino sheep with the First Fleet in 1788 began one of Australia’s most successful industries. After the first commercial wool export to England in 1811 it was often said that Australia rode on the sheep’s back; as wool became the foundation of our burgeoning economy. These commemorative 20c and $1 coin featured in this two coin Uncirculated Set captures a shearer hard at work and a wagon wheel illustrated with a series of images representing Australia’s rich history of wool production.
