2012 $1 Wheat Sheaf Silver Proof Coin

Australia’s place in the global economy has been built on the foundations of primary industry. No longer simply ‘riding on the sheep’s back’, Australia supplies goods such as iron ore, wheat, sugar, and beef to over 200 countries. This coin is imprinted with the emblem of wheat stalks originally designed for the threepence piece in 1938, the design represents the importance of agriculture and primary produce in Australia's economic history.
