THE THE FUTURE
10 DOLLARS
THE MILLENNIUM SERIES
Description:
The reverse reflects Australia’s progression into a “golden age,” represented by the central gold-toned core, while the copper coloring signifies a mature, established culture. The tree—grown from the seedling featured in earlier issues—symbolizes national development, unity, vigor and youth, its branching form echoing the Federation Star to represent unity across all states and territories. Prominent on the coin is the sun, pad-printed in gold, the omnipresent life source unifying all time. Around the scene is an ornate gold-plated border with inscriptions “THE FUTURE” at the top and “THE MILLENNIUM SERIES” at the bottom.
