The Australian Open, one of the four most prestigious Grand Slam tournaments in the world, turns 120 in 2025. To mark this important anniversary, the Royal Australian Mint has issued a series of commemorative coins celebrating both the tournament’s rich history and its global impact.

The collection includes coins with specific designs representing both men's and women's tennis, highlighting the equality and importance of both categories in the tournament. These designs capture the essence of the sport, showing players in full motion, with postures that reflect the intensity and grace of tennis.

Additionally, each design is accompanied by a vibrant blue tennis ball, an element that symbolizes the signature colors of the Australian Open courts.

The design of the coins is the work of renowned artist Aaron Baggio, who has managed to capture the energy and dynamism of the Australian Open. On the obverse, the coins feature the effigy of King Charles III, designed by Daniel Thorne, a detail that connects this launch with the British and Australian numismatic tradition.

In addition to the standard coins, there is a special version with a coloured design that imitates the look and texture of a tennis ball. This variant is particularly coveted, as there is only a one in ten chance of finding it. This detail adds an element of surprise and exclusivity that is sure to appeal to the most passionate collectors.

The Australian Open, known as the “Asia-Pacific Grand Slam”, has been a meeting point for top tennis players and millions of fans for decades. This tournament is not only a showcase of sporting talent, but also an event that celebrates diversity and the global passion for tennis.

The 2025 commemorative coins not only honour this legacy, but also offer a tangible way to connect with the history of sport. For collectors and enthusiasts, they represent a unique opportunity to own a piece of history that combines art, sport and tradition.

So, as players compete on the blue courts of the Australian Open, these coins remind us of the tournament's lasting impact on the world of tennis and beyond.
