The inclusion of an effigy of the Queen on the obverse of Australia's coinage is mandated by Regulation 4 (c) of the Currency Regulations made under the Currency Act 1965. Portraits of Her Majesty have all faced to the right in line with a convention, said to have commenced with Charles II (1660–1685), that the new Monarch's portrait would face in a direction opposite to that of their predecessor. – Coins from Australia / Coin Type: Ten Cents, Online Coin Club.
