| Reverse description | The reverse features a full-color photographic likeness of actor Pierce Brosnan as James Bond 007, dressed in a black suit and holding a pistol upright, occupying the right portion of the field. To the lower left, a vivid explosion rendered in yellow, orange, and red colorization provides a dramatic backdrop. In the upper left, a stylized gun barrel motif and abstract silhouettes appear in frosted relief against the mirrored field. The incuse legend 007 with the trademark gun barrel symbol appears in the mid-left field, and the title GOLDENEYE is inscribed in bold stylized lettering across the lower portion of the design, each element bearing trademark symbols. |

| Additional information |
Part of Perth Mint's ongoing Australian Wildlife series, this issue draws on the goldeneye duck — a species not native to Australia, which is an odd choice for a program ostensibly celebrating Australian fauna. The goldeneye is a Holarctic bird, breeding across northern Europe, Asia, and North America.
Struck in .9999 fine silver at 15.553 g, these half-ounce bullion-adjacent pieces are legal tender at face value but exist entirely outside circulation. The 50-cent denomination is nominal — a formality required for legal tender status under Australian law.
