Australia’s FIRST Polymer $50 issue!
Celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Polymer $50!
A key chapter in the nation’s currency history, Australia’s polymer $50 series began in 1995 – exactly 30 years ago. What better way could there be to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the series than by securing an example of Australia’s very first polymer $50 note?
The onset of the polymer revolution in the 1990s sent many collectors – and non-collectors – scrambling for examples of Australia’s soon-to-be-obsolete paper notes. As is so often the case, the ‘new’ currency was largely ignored in favour of the ‘old’ currency, meaning that early polymer $50 notes were not set aside at the time of issue. That early polymer $50 notes were rarely set aside is also because the high denomination $50 has too much spending power for most people to casually pop away.
As a result, Australia’s early polymer $50 notes are extremely scarce in ‘as issued’ quality today – as exemplified by the very first of the series $50, the 1995 Fraser/Evans $50. Impossible to find in your change in top grade, with three decades having passed since launched, this is your chance to secure the groundbreaking 1995 Fraser/Evans $50 in strictly Uncirculated quality!
The ultimate way to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the $50 Polymer Series, you must not miss this landmark opportunity. Limited stocks available! Click add to cart now!
