Comments

This NCLT coin was initially released by the RAM as part of a limited edition metal box set of Holden Heritage 50 cent coins.
 

There were ten other pad printed coins in the set and one non-pad printed coin.  Only 7500 Limited Edition sets were made and the only way to get the non-pad printed coin was as part of this set. Each coin in the set was issued in a coincard.
 
 

Later the eleven Pad-Printed coins were available separately in their coincards.

Released in 1958 to a booming market, the Holden FC Series proved to be a great sales success. Featuring a bold and brassy appearance, with touches of American inspired chrome, they sported new ornamentation, freshened interior and mechanical improvements which improved driveability. A total of seven variants were released simultaneously. During this era, Holden reached a production run of 500,000 vehicles and exported its 10,000th vehicle.
