The Australian 50 cent denomination was first introduced as a silver coin with decimalisation on 14 February 1966, but was changed in 1969 to its current specifications: a large dodecagonal (12-sided) copper-nickel coin; apart from the usual design featuring the Australian Coat of Arms, the denomination is also extensively used to issue circulating commemorative coins with various reverses. It is one of the heaviest coins in regular circulation in the world. Apart from circulating coins, the Royal Australian Mint has a range of Non-Circulating Legal Tender (NCLT) 50 cent coins issued for collectors, such as this one. This coin was issued for the festive season and is the Royal Australian Mint's first special Christmas coin. Based on the classic carol The Twelve Days of Christmas, this stunning coin comes in a beautiful gift card that pops-out - transforming the coin into a hanging decoration. The coins were only issued carded (in a red, orange, yellow, blue or green card), Royal Australian Mint Product Code: 10230, issue price: A$10.00. No coins of this type were released into circulation. | ||||||
