Comments

Królewska Mennica Australijska wyemitowała tę monetę o nominale 50 centów, pierwszą monetę okolicznościową ery dziesiętnej, w 1970 roku, aby uczcić dwusetną rocznicę opłynięcia wschodniego wybrzeża Australii przez kapitana Jamesa Cooka. Została ona włączona do zestawów UNC i Proof Year na rok 1970.

Wyemitowano 556 888 monet w czerwonej oprawie, jak pokazano poniżej. Zostały one wyemitowane w cenie 60 centów przez banki i RAM.

W 1970 roku wyprodukowano siedemdziesiąt (70) zestawów prezentacyjnych VIP Proof, z których każdy zawierał dwie monety próbne.

W 1989 roku The RAM wyemitowała oszałamiający restrike monety w "Masterpieces in Silver Set" na ten rok. Na awersie znajdował się jednak trzeci portret królowej Elżbiety II autorstwa Raphaela Makleoufa.

Ten obraz pokazuje dwie różne orientacje, w jakich cyfra 7 może znajdować się w dacie na tej monecie.

The Royal Australian Mint issued this 50 cent coin, the first commemorative coin of the decimal era, in 1970 to celebrate the bicentenary of the navigation of Australia’s east coast by Captain James Cook. It was included in the UNC and Proof Year sets for 1970.

There were 556,888 coins issued as a red cased specimen as shown below. These were issued for 60 cents from banks and the RAM.

Seventy (70) VIP Proof Presentation Sets were produced in 1970 each containing two proof coins.

In 1989 The RAM issued a stunning re-strike of the coin in the "Masterpieces in Silver Set" for that year. However, it had the Raphael Makleouf 3rd Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the Obverse.

This image shows the two different orientations that the number 7 can be on the date on this coin.
