Comment

Released by the Royal Australian Mint in 2015, this is the fourth NCLT Lunar coin in the tetradecagonal 50 cents series. Struck in .999 fine silver and finished with a frosted proof finish, this coin is engraved with Chinese lunar symbol of the goat on the reverse and Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse.

The coin is encapsulated and presented in a velvet lined blue box with an accompanying certificate of authenticity.
