Wattle features in new exhibition at the Royal Australian Mint

Her Excellency the Honourable Ms Sam Mostyn AC launched the new exhibition on 26 May 2025: ‘Reflection: 50th Anniversary of the Honours and Awards System’ at the Royal Australian Mint. This exhibition is a must-see for recipients of Australian honours and awards, coin and medallion collectors and lovers of Stuart Devlin’s designs and master craftsmanship. To complement the symbolic use of wattle (Acacia species) in the design of the Order of Australia insignia, and many other national awards and honours, Wattle Day Association President, Suzette Searle provided wattle memorabilia to prompt a few memories. Read Her Excellency’s speech: The exhibition is open until early 2026.
