Silver coin weighing 13.28 grams struck in .800 sterling silver

Australia's reborn 50-cent coins are among the most recognizable Australian numismatic issues. Each coin is made from an alloy containing 80% silver, making it attractive to collectors and investors alike. The coin weighs 13.28 grams and has a diameter of about 31.5 mm. The obverse features an image of Queen Elizabeth II, who was the head of state of Australia at the time. The reverse depicts the coat of arms of Australia with a kangaroo and an emu supporting the shield of the coat of arms. In 1966, the price of silver on the market began to rise, which made the bullion value of the coin exceed its face value. As a result, production of the silver version was quickly discontinued, and since 1969 the 50 cent has been minted from a cupro-nickel alloy in a 12-coinform. The coin was intended for daily circulation, but due to its silver content and historical value, it has become a valuable collector's item. Today, copies in good condition fetch high prices on the numismatic market. Among collectors, it is valued both for its aesthetic qualities and for its historical significance in the history of Australian minting.

The presented coin is a circulation coin, it may have minor signs of use in the form of scratches, discoloration or abrasions. Review photos - the sent coin may have a different vintage and different state of preservation. Coins are sent randomly, depending on the vintage they differ in the image of the reverse.
