Twelve months on from the devastating bushfires that swept the country, the Royal Australian Mint presents this 2020 'C' Mintmark Coloured Circulating Coin-in-Card as a poignant reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of Australia’s firefighters. From our career ‘fireys’ in the city, to the thousands of volunteers in the towns and bush, this coin commemorates and honors their dedication and commitment to protecting all Australians.
It is not surprising then that Australia’s 170,000 plus firefighters are revered for their bravery and dedication. From the cities to the outback they protect us from danger and are always prepared to step up when needed. The Aussie ‘firey’ epitomizes our ideals of mateship, bravery and support.
