Australian citizenship symbolises our unity as a
nation. It represents
a commitment to
Australia and its people, the values
we share and our common
future.
The coin's reverse depicts the Australian Commonwealth Coat of Arms, accompanied by the words
AUSTRALIA and
CITIZENSHIP.
The Coat of Arms consists of the badges of the six States of the Commonwealth on a shield enclosed by an ermine border signifying Australian
Federation in 1901. The Crest of the Arms, including a seven-pointed
Star, appears above the shield, which is
supported by a kangaroo and an emu.
