Description

These five Copper-nickel NCLT Coins were 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 the Jody Clark Sixth Effigy introduced on Australian coins in 2019. The coin with the Arnold Machin portrait was gold plated.

The Five coins in the Five-Coin Set are all dated 2019 as follows :-

Coin with original 1969-1983 2nd Effigy Arnold Machin Obverse with Stuart Devlin Rev. (Gold Plated)
Coin with second 1984-1997 3rd Effigy Ralph David Makleouf Obverse with Stuart Devlin Rev.

The coin with the Vladimir Gottwald 5th Effigy obverse was only the second time that effigy was used on a 50 cent coin. It had never been used on a Coat of Arms 50 Cent coin before.
