Comments

This NCLT 50 cent coin was issued by the RAM in a coincard designed to resemble a stamp. It commemorates 100 Years of Australian Postal Stamps.


It was also issued in two different PNC's by Australia Post. A general issue one ...


... and then a limited edition one over 6 days at the Melbourne Stamp Expo. This coin has an "M" Counterstamp and is the more desirable & expensive of the two.
