Comments

This Copper-nickel NCLT Coin was initially issued by the RAM as part of a Five-Coin Set to commemorate the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Dodecagon 50 cent Coin. The five coins in the set each display a different effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as used on the 50 cent coin since it was introduced in 1969 as well as including this new Jody Clark Sixth Effigy being introduced on Australian coins in 2019.

This particular 50 cent coin in the set displays the new 6th effigy by Jody Clark which has now also been issued by the RAM at "Pop Up Shops" in Mint Bags of 20 at various locations throughout Australia in 2019 & for general circulation from 2019 onwards.

The Five coins in the special Five-Coin Set are as follows:-
A coin dated 2019 with original 1969-1983 2nd Effigy Arnold Machin obverse with Stuart Devlin reverse. (Gold Plated)
A coin dated 2019 with second 1984-1997 3rd Effigy Ralph David Makleouf obverse with Stuart Devlin reverse.
A coin dated 2019 with third 1998-2019 4th Effigy Ian Rank-Broadly obverse with Stuart Devlin reverse.
A coin dated 2019 with fourth 2000 only 5th Effigy Vladimir Gottwald obverse with Stuart Devlin reverse.
A coin dated 2019 with fifth 2019 onward 6th Effigy Jody Clark obverse with Stuart Devlin reverse.

The Royal Australian Mint did not produce an Uncirculated Set of the 2019 Jody Clark 6th Portrait First Issue coins. However an aftermarket set that included this coin & the other five denominations was put together and issued by Downies.

The 2020 Uncirculated and Proof Sets containing this coin were released on 4/11/2019.
