Notes:
This is the first bullion silver coin to be struck by the Royal Australian Mint. The reverse design is a replica of the 'flying kangaroo' depicted on Australian halfpennies between 1939 and 1964 and pennies between 1937 and 1964.
| This coin has a specimen finish with 'reverse frosting' where the field is frosted to contrast with the highly polished raised design. It was distributed encapsulated and mounted on a colourful see-both-sides cardboard card protected by a plastic sleeve. |  |
