| Beschrijving voorzijde | Plain field bearing the numeral '50' stamped in large outline digits at centre, incorporating within the numeral the Royal Mint badge — a stylised depiction of the Tower of London with battlements and flanking turrets surmounted by crosses, rendered in incuse outline. The field is otherwise unadorned, with no legend, border, or additional devices, consistent with a trial or test piece struck to assess die placement and sizing. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Plain, unadorned field with a raised rim, bearing at centre the Royal Mint badge in incuse outline: a rectangular device depicting the Tower of London with a crenellated gateway, flanking turrets, and three crosses above the battlements. No legend, date, or additional inscription appears anywhere on the reverse, confirming the piece's status as a mechanical or sizing trial rather than a finished pattern. |

These pattern pieces were struck as the Royal Mint explored coinage designs ahead of Australian decimalization, which had already occurred in 1966 — making the date range here almost certainly tied to ongoing evaluation work rather than pre-decimal preparation. Australia's original 1966 fifty-cent piece had launched as a silver round coin, but its silver content immediately exceeded its face value as the silver price rose, prompting a rapid redesign to the familiar dodecagonal copper-nickel format adopted in 1969.
Patterns from this window exist in multiple die configurations and are poorly documented in the published literature.
