2019 50 cent Uncirculated Five Coin Set: "50th Anniversary of the Dodecagon 50c Coin."

Issued by the Royal Australian Mint to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Dodecagon 50c coin.

In 1968 the Federal Treasurer William McMahon announced the 1966 round silver 50c would be withdrawn from circulation following the increased silver value above the 50c face value. The following year the Royal Australian Mint released a new dodecagonal cupro-nickel 50c into circulation. The new coin shape helped differentiate the 50¢ coins from the existing round 20c coins.

The 50th anniversary of the Royal Australian Mint's introduction of the copper-nickel dodecagonal 50c is celebrated in 2019 with this five coin 50c collection. The set marks the golden anniversary with a special release gold plated coin and celebrates the five different effigies of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II that have featured on the coins since 1969.

This five 50 cent coin set comes in original RAM packaging.
