⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNING:

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

Please Note:

• Package Contents: This listing is for a single uncirculated coin only, supplied in a protective Mylar flip.
• Condition Detail: Sourced directly from a sealed RAM security bag and handled with numismatic care.
• Image Note: Images reflect the condition of the coins available; all examples are in a similar "ex-bag" uncirculated condition.

About this Coin

Issued in 2019, this key 50-cent piece represents a major milestone in modern Australian numismatics, debuting Jody Clark’s 6th portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the nation's standard dodecagonal 50c coin. With a remarkably low circulating mintage of just 2 million pieces—roughly a tenth of typical annual 50c production runs—finding pristine uncirculated examples today is a priority for decimal collectors. Sourced straight from sealed RAM security bags, this coin exhibits sharp relief and bright original mint bloom, making it a critical anchor piece for modern 50c date runs and portrait transition sets.
