2011 20c International Year of the Volunteer Rolled Coin

20 coins per Roll

NB. Heads/Tails not guaranteed

Ten years has passed since the International Year of Volunteers in 2001, and through a General Assembly Resolution, the United Nations called for this anniversary to be marked across the planet. The idea is to recognise and promote the values of volunteering, build and reinforce volunteering networks and assist individuals to tap their potential and make a real difference.

The coin design reflects people standing together to collectively help out where help is needed, signifying the camaraderie of volunteers who come from a diverse range of lifestyles and occupations. The “IYV” icon in the middle of the coin is the official logo for the anniversary. The coins will be wrapped in exclusive Royal Australian Mint paper and will also feature the “IYV” design.
