Hi Nic
the general circulation was standard copper nickle , 20 million of them were minted, Not sure on proof coins maybe some were silver, however from your photos it looks like a circulating coin, still a great coin though
just looked up, there is a silver proof, value around AU $30

The proof coin was issued in the 1989 Masterpieces in Silver 50c collection. It is dated 1989.

One of my favourite coins, always save them when I'm lucky enough to find them.

Hi blueczar, are there other previous Australian coins issued shown with Lady Dianna? or is this issue the only one? thanks

G'day, I don't follow NCLT. The only Australian circulating coin featuring Princess Di is the one you have.
She also featured on coins of a lot of other countries.

copy, thanks Peter, it's a beautiful coin, I noticed that immediately, even if I was a little bit on the happy side on that bar, I still managed to put it safely in my pocket, and that was the happy ending there for that particular coin

Dibby33, you can still find them if you search enough 50c, but this one and the '91 rams head are pretty hard to find.
