Comments

The Royal Australian Mint has released a special 50 cent uncirculated coin to commemorate the work of Afghan Cameleers. The coin was issued in a coincard.


The Afghan cameleers who travelled to Australia from 1859 made a significant contribution to the exploration of Australia’s inland, and to the development of Australia as a multicultural nation.

A silver Proof version of this coin was also released - (See Link)

Australia Post has released a PNC with this coin (2020 Issue 06).
