The Merino ram’s head design appears on the 2011 $1 uncirculated ‘C’ mintmark and the privy mark coins of Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne. This design, which graced the Australian shilling from 1938 to 1963, was modeled after a grand champion Merino ram from the 1932 Sydney Sheep Show. Renowned for the exceptional positioning of its head and horns, this ram was named Uardry 0.1 after its home station and became famously known as the ‘Shilling Ram’. The dignified Merino ram symbolizes Australia's thriving wool industry and its reliance on primary industry throughout its economic history.
