THE ASHES 2011 20c Uncirculated Coin

THE ASHES 2011 20c Uncirculated Coin

Commemorate the iconic cricket rivalry between Australia and England. Released on 6 November 2010, this coin marked the 2010–2011 Ashes series and celebrated over a century of Test cricket competition dating back to 1882.

The great Don Bradman once said, "Test Cricket is not a light-hearted business, especially that between England and Australia".
Alive since 1882, this enduring sporting rivalry culminates in the Ashes Test Series - the backbone of Australia's cricket calendar and part of our national culture. This summer sport is played biennially in the United Kingdom and Australia and in 2010-11, the series returns once again to Australian shores.
