2012 $1 Australian Year of The Farmer Uncirculated Coin

Since the first European farm was established by Governor Phillip and convict James Ruse in 1789, farming has been the lifeblood of Australia. Today, farmers play an essential role in helping to sustain our way of life and economy. Their innovation and productivity help provide global food security. In 2012, we celebrate the vital contribution of our farmers in feeding, clothing and housing us all.
