Comment
This Copper-nickel NCLT Coin was initially issued by the RAM as part of a Five-Coin Set to commemorate the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Dodecagon 50 cent Coin. The five coins in the set each display a different effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as used on the 50 cent coin since it was introduced in 1969 as well as including this new Jody Clark Sixth Effigy being introduced on Australian coins in 2019.
