The only Australian 1 cent coins to be minted at the Royal Mint Wales, were 40 million of the total 223 million 1981 coins.
The 1 cent coins minted at the RAM Canberra, show all whiskers as being sharp on the Feather Tailed Glider. It is unclear what the difference is, but it is likely that one or more whiskers would be blunted for coins minted at the Wales Mint.
