Steve - Oz 50c man, what do you mean by "doesn't have a demonimation, issuing country or date."?
There is a typical COA with 50 on it, date 1988 and Australia on reverse according to McDonald guide image. Is this is image is not the actual one?
Thanks,
zic

I understood this 1988 50c had the COA instead of the tall ships which was a mint error

Hi Zic,

I was talking about the trial pattern
see http://www.triton.vg/trial.html
when I said "doesn't have a demonimation, issuing country or date."

Floridapalms, you are right that the standard '88 50c has the tall ships, but there is one known CoA '88 50c (a mule) that shouldn't exist.

I have recently come across another 50c Mule (or at least rumours of such) and thought I would share.

It has Australian Obverse with a Fijian 50c Reverse. Reports say it is either a '75 or a '78. I have read that the RAM made Fijian 50c coins in '75, but not sure...

Does anyone have any further info?

I believe there is a 1978 20c with a Fijian reverse and an Australian obverse.

Can't say I've heard of it. Where did you hear about it?

I just found some information here: http://www.vision.net.au/~pwood/sept05.htm
I don't know. I don't suppose it went to auction?

edit: Looks like it was auctioned: http://www.coincollector.com.au/coi...with-a-mule/

If you go here http://triton.vg/errors.html and scroll down there is an illustration of the Fijian mule.
