Interesting fact
The 2014 Australian 50c Silver Great White Shark coin features a unique design that showcases the majesty of this powerful predator. The coin's reverse depicts a Great White Shark swimming through the ocean, its body gracefully curved as it moves through the water. The coin's obverse features the fourth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, a regal and dignified image that serves as a reminder of the coin's legal tender status. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted with a unique technique called "colorized reverse proof." This means that the coin's reverse side was minted using a special process that creates a frosted finish, giving the shark's body a textured, lifelike appearance. The colorized part of the coin is the shark's eye, which is painted in a bright, shiny silver that really makes the coin stand out. This technique adds an extra layer of depth and detail to the coin's design, making it a truly stunning collector's item.
