The commemorative fifty-cent coin, issued by the Royal Australian Mint, has been released into circulation. While the obverse is dated 2005, the reverse showcases "Melbourne 2006 XVIII Commonwealth Games." The design for the reverse was created by Kelly Just, a 16-year-old Victorian who emerged victorious in a nationwide secondary school competition.
This coin is part of the Special 18 Coin Set, which includes 16 other distinct NCLT 50 Cent coins and a $5 Aluminium Bronze NCLT Coin. Additionally, a Fine Silver (.999) version, enclosed in a capsule within an elegant box along with a limited edition certificate, was also released.
