Fifty cent - 1966 to 1984 - Price Guide
Fifty cent Australian coins showing the Commonwealth Coat of Arms on reverse were released for the first time in circulation on February 14, 1966. First ones made in silver, a new shape and alloy was reintroduced into circulation in September, 1969 because silver price rose above the face value and to help solve the confusion with the twenty cents.
Kangaroos have large, powerful hind legs, large feet adapted for leaping, a long muscular tail for balance, and a small head. Like most marsupials, female kangaroos have a pouch called a marsupium in which joeys complete postnatal development. The emu is the second-largest living bird by height, after its ratite relative, the ostrich. The emu's range covers most of mainland Australia.
