In Tamworth, New South Wales—Australia's country music capital—the Big Golden Guitar, a 13-meter-tall fiberglass monument unveiled in 1988, stands as a vibrant tribute to the genre's legacy. This iconic landmark draws over 100,000 visitors each January to the Tamworth Country Music Festival, where live performances, bush poetry, and boot-scooting revelry celebrate outback culture, with the nearby Tourist Centre offering interactive exhibits and memorabilia from legends like Slim Dusty.

Featured on a $1 uncirculated coin from the Royal Australian Mint's 2025 Aussie Big Things 2 series, the Big Golden Guitar's silhouette shines against Tamworth’s rolling hills and starry skies, capturing the festival's rustic charm. Encased in a vibrant orange card holder evoking a sunset stage, this coin is a collectible gem, perfect for fans of Australia’s quirky roadside icons and country music heritage.
