⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNING:

• While this is an uncirculated coin sourced directly from a security roll, it is not guaranteed to be in flawless grade.
• As these coins were struck on high-speed production presses and stored in bulk rolls, individual specimens may exhibit standard "bag marks," small nicks, contact chatter, or surface scuffing from contact with other coins during the minting and rolling process.
• These marks are a natural result of the mass-production process for circulating commemoratives.

About this Coin

The 2001 Federal Coat of Arms 50c coin serves as the anchor issue for the celebrated 2001 Centenary of Federation 20-coin series. Issued to commemorate 100 years since Australia became a federated nation in 1901, it features a bold, full-relief depiction of the Commonwealth Coat of Arms. While widely minted and circulated compared to its state-and-territory counterparts, finding pristine examples today that retain full 2001 mint luster is an essential goal for decimal collectors completing their set.
