2008 Carded 50c Coin Uncirculated America's Cup
Obverse: Elizabeth II to right, legend around
Reverse: Australia II yacht sailing, denomination at right, legend around
Alloy: Copper / Nickel | Diameter: 31.50mm | Weight: 15.55g
Mintage: 32,916
The truly innovative winged keel is reflected in the packaging.
Time Magazine stated that when Australia II won the America's Cup in 1983,"the land Down Under had not witnessed such an orgy of jubilation since V-J Day ended the war in the Pacific."
The 50 cents uncirculated coin design shows the starboard side of the vessel with a spinnaker and mainsail carrying the boat to victory. A unique magnified underwater view captures the controversial winged keel as taken from technical drawings.
A very exciting feature that makes this a truly remarkable collector item is the packaging. The blister card transforms into your very own winged keel. This will perfectly display the 50 cent coin and keep it shipshape for many years to come.
For bonus points, you can follow the instructions to unfold the card yourself!
This coin was never introduced into circulation and has a relatively small mintage - a great one to put away for the future.
The coin and card remain in as-issued condition.
