DETAILS

1991 marked 25 years since the introduction of Decimal Currency into the Australian way of life. To celebrate, the Royal Australian Mint issued the Decimal Currency 25th Anniversary Ram's Head 50c coin - an eye-catching commemorative release.

With a reverse motif inspired by the iconic 'Ram's Head' shilling design, this imposing coin is immediately recognisable.

According to the Royal Australian Mint, the original 'shilling ram' was a prize-winning merino spotted at the Annual Sydney Sheep Show in 1932 - nearly 60 years before this coin was struck!
