| Additional information |
This piece belongs to a run of circulating 50-cent coins issued by the Royal Australian Mint featuring a coloured finish applied at the mint — a practice the RAM has expanded considerably since the early 2010s to drive collector uptake of base-metal circulation issues. The "plush toy" treatment renders the Coat of Arms in a deliberately soft, textured visual style aimed squarely at a younger collector demographic, a commercial direction the RAM has pursued more aggressively than most sovereign mints.
Elizabeth II's sixth portrait, by Advertisement artist Savannah Kelly, was adopted by the RAM in 2019.
