Pays homage to iconic Australian poet Dorothea Mackellar.
Celebrates Mackellar’s poem Dawn, published in 1911.
Rare ‘off-metal’ 50c – struck in aluminium-bronze, rather than the
traditional copper-nickel!
Each 31.50mm Australian legal tender coin struck to Uncirculated
standard.
Strictly limited edition set at an incredibly low 2,500!
Presented within an official Royal Australian Mint card.
Not issued for circulation and never found in change!
STRICT LIMIT OF ONE COIN PER HOUSEHOLD*
An outstanding release from the Royal Australian Mint, this unique tribute to Dorothea Mackellar and her poem Dawn is not struck from the traditional alloy of copper-nickel – it’s struck from ALUMINIUM-BRONZE!
Capturing the essence of the Australian landscape through her evocative and highly descriptive poetry, Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968) is one of Australia’s most famous poets. Enshrining the lyrical beauty of Mackellar’s work in official Australian legal tender, this superb tribute to her poem Dawn is one of the most beautifully designed RAM coins we have ever offered. An exquisite work of numismatic art, sure to be targeted as an affordable tribute to a truly iconic Australian, the Dorothea Mackellar Dawn 2025 50c Aluminium-Bronze Uncirculated Coin will also be highly sought after by traditional decimal collectors.
‘Off-metal’ strikings are always enormously popular, and as this is one of very few occasions that the Royal Australian Mint has struck the 50c in aluminium-bronze, massive demand is naturally anticipated. Importantly, this unique, one-year-only type will not be issued for circulation and will never be found in your change!
With the limited edition of this eye-catching coin set at just 2,500, and our allocation absolutely tiny, we must impose a limit of one coin per household. A rapid-fire sell-out is inevitable – you must act now. Click add to cart!
