Description
Description
- 2012 Australian 50-cent hyper-metallic coloured issue
- Stuart Devlin’s Australian Coat of Arms reverse
- Brilliant Uncirculated coin from the 2012 Six-Coin Uncirculated Year Set *
- Mintage: 57,054
- Queen Elizabeth II obverse and twelve-sided format
The 2012 Australian 50-cent coin gives Stuart Devlin’s Coat of Arms design a distinctive hyper-metallic colour treatment. A gold-coloured kangaroo and blue-grey emu flank the multicoloured shield, while a purple 50 anchors the reverse. Reflective surfaces give the familiar national design a notably different character as the light changes.
With a mintage of 57,054, this issue was packaged exclusively in the Royal Australian Mint’s 2012 Six-Coin Uncirculated Year Set rather than released for general circulation. Its coloured treatment offers a distinctive variation within Australian decimal coinage. Add the 2012 hyper-metallic 50-cent coin to your collection at FORTYMILLION.

* Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) means a coin has never been used as everyday currency and retains its original, bright mint luster and shine straight from the production process.
Key Characteristics of BU Coins
No Circulation Wear: The coin has zero signs of wear, friction, or handling from being passed around in commerce.
Original Luster: It displays a bright, flashing "mint bloom" or shine across its surfaces.
Not Flawless: "Uncirculated" describes the absence of wear, not necessarily total perfection. A BU coin can still have minor contact marks ("bag marks") or light scuffs from how the coins tumbled together at the mint or were packaged.
Grading Equivalency: In formal numismatics, BU is often used as a general descriptive term for ungraded coins that would roughly fall into the Mint State (MS-60 to MS-70) range on the Sheldon grading scale.
Q. Was this issue released for general circulation?
A. No. It was originally issued exclusively in the 2012 Royal Australian Mint Six-Coin Uncirculated Year Set.
Q. What makes the reverse different?
A. The Coat of Arms features a hyper-metallic colour treatment, including the kangaroo, emu, shield and denomination.
Q. Does this listing include the complete six-coin set?
A. This listing is for the individual 50-cent coin, not the complete year set.
