Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Cents - Elizabeth II (4th Portrait - Kangaroo - Silver Bullion Coin) 2016-2018 from Australia is that it has a unique design feature. The coin's reverse side features a kangaroo, which is a symbol of Australia, and the kangaroo is depicted in a standing position, with its front paws on a grassy mound. This design element was included to give the coin a sense of depth and dimension, making it stand out from other coins. Additionally, the coin's high silver content and limited mintage make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item.
