Comments

The Royal Australian Mint released this commemorative fifty cent into circulation. Just to confuse you the coin is dated 2005 on the obverse but features "Melbourne 2006 XVIII Commonwealth Games" on the reverse. This coin was designed by 16 year old Victorian Kelly Just who won a nation-wide secondary school competition to design the reverse.

The coin was also available in UNC condition in a Coincard.


It was also included in the Special 18 Coin Set with 16 other different NCLT 50 Cent coins and a $5 Aluminium Bronze NCLT Coin.


A Fine Silver (.999) version was released in a capsule in a plush box with limited edition certificate.
