About this Coin

Issued in 2005 as part of the Royal Australian Mint's "World War II Remembered" series, this poignant 50c coin pays tribute to the sacrifices made by Australian servicemen and women during WWII. While minted in large quantities for general circulation, finding examples today that have escaped commercial wear and retain full original mint bloom is increasingly difficult. Sourced straight from long-term stored Armaguard® security rolls, this uncirculated specimen provides a crisp, high-lustre example for date-run and 50c commemorative collection slots.
