What is the value of a 1998 Australian 50 cent coin?

Answer 1

The Australian 1966 50 cent coin was the first and only round Australian 50 cent coin to be minted. All subsequent 50 cent coins were dodecagonal or 12 sided. It was also the first and only Australian decimal coin to ever contain any precious metals.

An Australian 1966 round 80% silver 50 cent coin (Elizabeth II)(minted in Canberra), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to $12 AUD.

There were 36.252 million minted.

An Australian 1966 round 80% silver 50 cent coin (Proof)(Elizabeth II)(minted in Canberra), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to $100 AUD.

Their composition was 80% silver, 20% copper.

They were withdrawn from circulation fairly quickly after decimalisation because somebody figured out that the silver content of the coin was worth more than 50 cents after steep rises in the price of silver in the mid 1960's.
