"Ram Design" from a old Australia Shilling coin
This new 1 Dollar Ram's head coin design continues the celebration in 2011 of Australian wool and the role it played in the development of modern Australia. The original design of the ram was modeled on a champion Merino at the Annual Sydney Sheep Show in 1932 and came to be known as the Shilling Ram.
