2022 Twenty Cent 90th Anniversary of the ABC (20c) Uncirculated Australian Decimal Coin

For nine decades the ABC, Australia’s national broadcaster, has told the Australian story through a myriad of platforms and media.
The Royal Australian Mint joins in celebrating the 90th anniversary of the ABC with this striking commemorative coin design available as both a 2022 $1 Fine Silver Proof Coin and 2022 20c Uncirculated Coin.

The Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC) was officially launched on 1 July 1932 and has since become a much loved touchstone of Australia’s social and cultural fabric. Starting as a single radio service, ‘Aunty’ has grown into a multi-platform media operation and a public broadcaster of international renown. The ABC Charter, set down by Parliament, requires the ABC to provide informative, entertaining and educational services that reflect the breadth of our nation.

Over the decades, the ABC has created some of the most iconic Australian content and truly become the voice of the nation. Everything from Play School and Bluey, 4 Corners and This Day Tonight, to Count Down and Triple J Top 100, the ABC has always innovated, commentated and reflected what it is to be Australian.

Coin’s reverse features the iconic ABC lissajous logo surrounded by more than forty characters, titles and pictograms symbolising the diverse and expansive facets of Australia’s national broadcaster.
