The Queen is getting a makeover on Australia's coins.
The federal government says a new effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by the UK Royal Mint's engraver Jody Clark, will be rolled out and is expected to be seen on 2019-dated coins.
"This new effigy will replace the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy which has been in use since 1998," Assistant Treasurer Michael Sukkar said on Sunday.
