Comment
The Royal Australian Mint’s new 50c Coloured Uncirculated Coin features a group of majestic Humpback Whales, one emerging from the ocean while an adult and youngster disappear beneath the waves. Humpbacks were once hunted to near extinction but are now found in most of the world’s oceans.It was issued in a capsule in a large sized coincard.
