To supply the Australian public with the changeover to decimal currency in 1966, 36 million, 80% silver round 50c pieces were struck. Due to the rising silver prices towards the en d of 1966, the Royal Australian Mint stopped production making the round 50c piece a one year type. Due to the large mintage, rounds are generally traded for their silver value at the current bullion price. AGW 0.3415oz Weight 13.28grams Composition 80% Silver 20% Copper Show more
