Comment

Ninth coin in the RAM Silver Proof Subscription Series that ran until 2011

Released by the RAM in 2005 to commemorate 150 years since the Half Sovereign was issued by the Sydney Mint. The coin was released in a capsule in a plush case with limited edition certificate.

In keeping with the original coin, the 2005 Subscription coin flips on the horizontal axis (coin orientation).
