The Coin Company is proud to present Centenary of the Country Women's Association 2022 $1 Uncirculated Coin produced by The Royal Australian Mint

A century ago, in April 1922, a group of women convened a meeting at the Sydney Royal Agricultural Show and founded an organisation to represent NSW rural women and their families - the Country Women's Association. By 1936, the CWA had spread to all states and a century on, it remains Australian's largest women's organisation with 44,000 members across 1855 branches.

Australia's largest women's organisation - the Country Women's Association - emerged from the vision o a group of people, among them Florence Gordon, Women's Editor of the Stock & Station Journal, and Dr Richard Arthur, a reform-minded politician, who decided something needed to be one to unite women from the country. With people from across NSW gathered in Sydney for the 1922 Royal Agricultural Show, a meeting was called and the CWA was founded. The CWA has expanded to all states and in 1945 the national organisation was formed.

Centenary of the Country Women's Association 2022 $1 Uncirculated Coin has an unlimited mintage.
