DETAILS

In 2001 Australia Celebrated the Centenary of Federation, the Royal Australian Mint released a commemorative 50c bearing the Coat of Arms for Each State and Territory.

Tasmania's Coat of Arms features two Tasmanian Tigers supporting the shield. The sheild features symbols of Tasmania's industry: hops, a sheaf of wheat, a ram, apples and a thunderbold which refers to Tasmania's hydro-electric power system. The 'passant' lion, a traditional symbol of heraldry which is also featured in the State badge appears in the crest. The lion hold a pick and shovel to represent mining.

Tasmania's Latin motto 'Ubertas et Fidelitas' or 'Fruitfulness and Faithfulness' appears at the base of the Coat of Arms.
