The flag of Australia, also known as the Australian National Flag, was first flown on September 3, 1901, shortly after the confederation of Australia. It was officially adopted as the national flag in 1954 with the passage of the Flags Act 1953. Right now, 1 oz Colorized Scottsdale Australia Flag Silver Bars are available at JM Bullion.

Each 1 oz Colorized Scottsdale Australia Flag Silver Bar comes with an individual protective capsule. Like other bars in the Scottsdale Flag Bar Series, you’ll find a shared obverse design on this bar. The Australian flag is the unique, colorized visual on this particular specimen. In total, this series covers all 50 US states, the US, the UK, and Canada, in addition to Australia.
Despite its official status and widespread use, the Australian flag has been the subject of ongoing debate. Some argue that it doesn’t adequately represent Australia’s Indigenous peoples or its multicultural society. Various alternative designs have been proposed over the years, often featuring Indigenous symbols or colors. However, attempts to change the flag have not gained sufficient popular or political support to date. The current flag remains a powerful symbol of Australian identity for many, representing the nation’s history, geography, and aspirations on the world stage.
Obverse designs on Colorized Scottsdale Australia Flag Silver Bars include the identifying markers of the mint and the bar. The Scottsdale Lion is set on the right side of the field, while the Scottsdale Mint name is on the left. The weight, metal content, and purity are noted at the top of the field.
Reverse visuals on the 1 oz Colorized Australia Flag Silver Bar include the national flag design. The flag features a blue field with the Union Jack in the upper left canton, a large seven-pointed white star (the Commonwealth Star) below the Union Jack, and five smaller white seven-pointed stars on the right half, forming the constellation of the Southern Cross.
