Commemorative coins to mark the Centenary of Rotary in Australia
 

The Rotary Wheel is featured in the centre of the limited edition $5 Silver Proof Coin and $1 Coloured Uncirculated Coin and is surrounded by the five core values of Rotary – Integrity, Service, Diversity, Fellowship and Leadership – and the centenary dates of the establishment of Rotary in Australia.

Celebrating Rotary Australia’s centenary is an opportunity to reflect on the significant contribution Rotarians have made locally, nationally and internationally.

In 1921, four Rotary clubs were created in Melbourne, Auckland, Wellington and Sydney. From there Rotary and Rotaract clubs were created everywhere across Australia and New Zealand. They will all share a centenary in 2021

Over the course of a century, Rotary’s footprint in Australia has expanded to over 1,100 clubs nationally with more than 25,000 members. The Australian clubs are part of a broader movement of 1.2 million Rotarians in nearly 33,000 clubs around the world.
