This Fine Silver (.999) Proof NCLT 50 cent coin was released by the RAM in 2005 in a capsule in a plush blue box with limited edition certificate. This coin was designed by 16 year old Victorian 'Kelly Just' who won a nation-wide secondary school competition to design the reverse.
Over 20 million of this coin were released into circulation as a Copper-nickel coin. Just to confuse you the coin is dated 2005 on the obverse but features "Melbourne 2006 XVIII Commonwealth Games" on the reverse.
