Australia 1966 50c Silver Round PCGS MS65 (Gem Uncirculated)
Struck for just one year, the 1966 Silver Round is Australia's first 50c, only round 50c, and only precious metal decimal coin issued for circulation. Desirable in any condition, this key type is simply a must-have in sensational Gem Uncirculated quality – as here!
Intended as the ‘glamour coin’ of the decimal changeover in 1966, Australia’s first 50c was struck from 80% fine silver. Unfortunately, a spike in silver prices ensured the rapid demise of the 1966 50c. With the intrinsic value outstripping the face value, this coin was hoarded away or sentenced to the melting pot, and simply vanished from circulation as a result. The next 50c, unveiled in 1969 after a lengthy period of debate, was neither silver nor round, rendering the 1966 50c a unique, one-year-only type.
A wonderful opportunity to secure this distinctive, controversial coin in a truly outstanding state of preservation, we have a small number of the 1966 Silver 50c graded by leading independent 3rd party coin verifiers Professional Coin Grading Service at MS65 – the equivalent of Gem Uncirculated.
