Licensing

This image depicts an Australian Coin. Under Australian law, the Royal Australian Mint (the Mint) produces Australian Coins and controls use of their reproductions. The Mint's copyright policy states:

"The Commonwealth holds copyright in the designs and images used on Australian currency coins which were created after 1 May 1969. Copyright gives the copyright owner the exclusive right to reproduce designs and images from two-dimensional to three-dimensional form, and vice versa."

Reproductions of Australian Coins are subject to the following conditions:

"In certain circumstances the Mint may agree to allow members of the public to reproduce coin designs in which it holds copyright. ... If you wish to reproduce coin designs you should contact the Mint. Failure to do so may result in a breach of copyright and legal action by the Mint."

It is believed that using this image:

for commentary or criticism relating to the image or to the design of the coin itself,
for identification of the coin,
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law, as such display does not significantly impede the right of the copyright holder to sell the copyrighted material, is not being used to generate profit in this context, and presents ideas that cannot be exhibited otherwise. Any other uses of the Australian type of coins, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. Please see Wikipedia:Non-free content and fair use rationale.
