Australia celebrated its bicentenary in 1988 as the date 200 years after the arrival of the First Fleet.Much was also made of the bicentenary, in 1970, of James Cook's charting of the east coast and claiming of the eastern half of Australia for Great Britain.
James Cook does not appear on any Australian or New Zealand 20 cent coins.
The Captain James Cook memorial was built in 1970 to commemorate the bicentenary of Cook's charting of the east coast of Australia.A couple of points to consider, however: James Cook was not yet a captain when he charted the east coast - he was still a Lieutenant. Secondly, he did not "discover" it, but he was the first known European to sail along the east coast.
