trekkertony New Member Australia 1 Posts	Posted 12/29/2007 03:33 am Hi all, I have just started collecting 50 cent coins and would like to know the reason why some of the 50 cent coins that l have collected have crowns or tiaras on the Queens head for the same year of minting. Can anyone offer an explanation for this variance please. Regards, Trekkertony Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 12/29/2007 10:14 am Perhaps you are referring to the 2000 Royal Visit 50¢, with the Vladimir Gottwald obverse; that's the only time Australia has used two different obverse portraits in the same year. Vladimir Gottwald is an Australian designer, and this was the design submitted by him to replace the Raphael Maklouf portrait in a Commonwealth-wide competition. His design was rejected, but approved for use on this one coin type. Apart from this, the portraits have been constant for a particular year. Arnold Machin 1966-84, Raphael Maklouf 1985-98, Ian Rank-Broadley 1999-now. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
