{"product_id":"1966-australian-round-50c-coins","title":"1966 Australian Fifty Cents (50c) Round","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 1966 round fifty cent coin was introduced on 14 February 1966 as part of the transition to decimal currency. It has a nominal value of half an Australian dollar, equivalent to five shillings of the Australian pound that the dollar replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe round fifty cent coins contained 80% silver and 20% copper but, because the value of silver quickly increased after the coins were issued, their bullion value became higher than their face value, so they were withdrawn from circulation. A total of 36.45 million coins were minted, with 14 million being put into circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"wp-block-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eObverse:\u003c\/strong\u003e  The obverse of the coin features the crowned and draped young bust of Queen Elizabeth II facing right - her effigy known as the \"Second Portrait\", by Arnold Machin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Queen wears the \"Girls of Great Britain and Ireland\" diamond tiara, a wedding gift from Queen Mary (Her Majesty's grandmother) in 1947 - which she also has on the Rank-Broadley and the Gottwald portraits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround, the monarch's legend and the date of issue: ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 1966.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReverse: \u003c\/strong\u003e Arms of the Commonwealth of Australia, based on those authorised by Royal Warrant 19 September 1912 - composed of a shield divided into six parts, each containing a representation of the badge of a State.
