2015 Magna Carta Anniversary Silver Antique Rectangular Coin
On 15 June 1215 in Runnymede, Surrey, King John placed a royal seal on one of the most important documents in human history.
The Magna Carta (Great Charter) was a revolutionary declaration, ensuring that any future rulers were also bound by law. With the Magna Carta sealed, a ruler’s power could not stop citizens enjoying their rights and freedoms.

The Magna Carta has been reissued by Monarchs throughout history, including the 1297 Inspeximus issue by Edward I, which now takes pride of place at the Australian Parliament House. It is a fitting home for a document to which much Australian legislation can trace its roots.
This unique coin features a representation of King John’s Great Seal which formalised the original 1215 Magna Carta.
An inscription taken from the 1297 Inspeximus issue held at the Australian Parliament House also appears on the reverse.
The Royal Australian Mint will release no more than 10,000 of the 2015 Magna Carta Anniversary Silver Antique Rectangular Coin.
