Description
Celebrate Australia’s Pastoral Heritage with the Iconic Shilling Ram Design
The 2011 $1 Ram’s Head Dollar Silver Proof Coin pays tribute to one of Australia’s most recognisable pre-decimal coin designs — the legendary Merino ram that appeared on the Australian shilling from 1938 to 1963. Struck by the Royal Australian Mint in fine silver, this beautifully presented proof issue captures an enduring symbol of Australia’s agricultural and economic history.
Featured on the reverse is the famous “Shilling Ram” design, originally modelled on the champion Merino ram known as Uardry 0.1 from the 1932 Sydney Sheep Show. Revered for the exceptional positioning of its head and horns, the ram became an enduring emblem of Australia’s wool industry and pastoral identity. Alongside the wheat sheaves of the pre-decimal threepence, the ram design represented the backbone of Australia’s primary industries during the nation’s formative years.
Struck in fine silver to proof quality, the coin showcases mirror-like fields and frosted design elements for outstanding detail and contrast. With a strictly limited mintage of only 12,500 coins worldwide, this collectible issue remains highly desirable among Australian coin collectors and numismatic enthusiasts.
Each coin is housed in its original presentation packaging and includes a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
A nostalgic and beautifully crafted release, the 2011 Ram’s Head Dollar Silver Proof Coin is a fitting tribute to Australia’s rural heritage and classic coinage history.
