15 Dollars - Charles III 1st Portrait - Half Sovereign

Australia's half sovereign revival is a relatively recent phenomenon — the Perth Mint reintroduced the denomination in 2009 after a gap stretching back to the Federation-era issues of the early twentieth century. This Charles III iteration marks the first use of his effigy on the Australian half sovereign, replacing the long-running Elizabeth II portrait series. The "1st Portrait" designation will matter to completionists: the King's coinage portrait has already been revised once, making first-portrait issues a defined collecting category before the series has barely begun.
