The Cybernetics $1 aluminium bronze coin is the third design in The Perth Mint's exciting Young Collectors Super Powers series which looks at superheroes and their superpowers. As technology advances, Cybernetics is becoming more of a reality.

A Cyborg is someone that has enhanced or improved abilities due to technology, made up of both organic and mechanical parts, making them almost superhuman.

The coin’s reverse features a coloured representation of a cyborg with an artificial eye, and a mechanical arm and leg, kicking through a brick wall. As well as the inscription CYBERNETICS, the design also includes The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark.

Issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965, the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the 2014 year-date are featured on the coin’s obverse.

A great gift for any budding young collector, the Cybernetics coin is housed in a presentation card with spectacular illustrations and information about cybernetics.

The first release in this series, Super Senses, is available in a coin album with an illustrated card cover. The album is designed to fit all six coins in this series. Please note that the coin album is not available for purchase separately.
