Correct - the Australian "round fiddies" were issued only in 1966. Very popular even today - Stuart Devlin's (famed for 1990 Kookaburra and Australian circulating currency coins) Coat of Arms design has aged well. 🇦🇺 On the obverse Arnold Machin portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.

1.5oz of diseased magical goat bullion😊
Edit: Meant in the most endearing way possible, as I do like these very much!

Spot silver - 13 Australia 1966 50 Cents at £11.45/oz.

Another 1oz gold Queens Beast Lion from @kneehow2018

This little beauty... my first toe dip into the world of "old" sovereigns. 1837 Shieldback. As always the photos are terrible and its in a flip that is a bit beat up, but will be off to @Numistacker for some NCS treatment.

Quick pre-brexit purchase 😑
10oz kookaburra

Captain America

Perth mint figure 8 dragon and the coi 😍 had to have them. And had to have them vat free because the premium is huge. 
Very happy

Received my first South Korean Komsco medallions this week. They look great
Something I just found out recently .... the Zi:Sin series is actually a lunar series!!!! Gallus the rooster, Canis the dog and Scrofa the pig. It's very refreshing to see a new take on a Lunar series.
And big thanks @MikeSol for the Chiwoo Cheonwangs, @SilverStan for the Zi:SIn Gallus and Canus and @MickD for the Zi:Sin Scrofa.
I have the 2016 Chiwoo on the way and still on the look out for a Zi:Sin Scrofa ghost if any one has any spare?

1988 half sovereign for my 3rd portrait date run.
+8% ebay win. 😀
 

QB Day today!  Received my 1/4 gold proof and 1 oz silver proof QB Yales, as well as 11 of the 2 oz bullion silvers.  I really like this design.  Also received $5 face value in 90% silver quarters. And a variety of recently released clad proof and BU sets from the U.S. Mint.

@Caratacus pretty much hit the nail on the head with it being the Logo for the Canada 150 celebrations that were held across Canada in 2017. The 150 year celebration was to celebrate confederation which happened in 1867 and brought the British colonies of Canada (split in to Ontario and Quebec), Nova Scotia and New Brunswick together under the banner of the Dominion of Canada - officially forming the country. The rest of the provinces and territories joined/were created later to form the country as it is now.
The Canada 150 logo you see here was the winning design chosen out of 300 entries by students across the country. There is some debate over the meaning behind it but the official line is the following - "the base of the maple leaf, which is made up of four diamonds, to represent the four provinces that formed Confederation. The nine other diamonds expanding outwards, it says, were meant to represent the six other provinces and three territories. The repeated shape is meant to create a sense of unity and the 13 shapes forming the leaf represents our togetherness as a country,"
Here's a couple more photos - one of the logo and another of a round featuring the logo because who deosn't want to see more shiny?
Also I absolutely love the privy maples and the 150 one is definitely one of the best.
