The Great Race will reach its six-decade milestone next week, leading to various special celebrations and tributes.

The coin was unveiled at the Royal Australian Mint in Canberra, with Cameron Hill, the only driver from the Australian capital competing in Supercars, in attendance. Hill expressed his excitement to be part of the coin launch, as Bathurst has played a significant role in his racing career. The coin is both a collectable item and legal tender, commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Great Race.
