steve - Oz 50c man Valued Member Australia 490 Posts	Posted 08/11/2011 9:41 pm thanks for sharing sel_69l I think 3k to 5k is a reasonable estimate for one of the '88 patterns. Report this Post to the Staff

steve - Oz 50c man Valued Member Australia 490 Posts	Posted 08/11/2011 11:24 pm if you are talking about the trial patterns, then no, they are not technically currency as they have no denomination and would more accurately be described as a token. the RAM have (or so I have heard) acknowledged that they are struck on a 50c blank but otherwise deny any knowledge.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 08/14/2011 12:46 am Why waste some design effort? Obviously, they have hauled out the designs for the pattern 50 cents, to be re used on subsequent coin designs. Just adds interest to the original pattern! Report this Post to the Staff

Australian coin Pillar of the Community Australia 1244 Posts	Posted 09/06/2011 11:55 pm Hi, the 1988 parliament house was a trial coin for a 50c commemorative coin, but never went ahead; instead the design was used in the $5 aluminium bronze and $1 silver subscription proof coins. http://www.triton.vg/images/trial3.jpg http://www.triton.vg/trial.html Report this Post to the Staff
floridapalms Valued Member Australia 85 Posts	Posted 09/09/2011 08:32 am Thanks Australia Coin,I am still confused about this 50c and 1988 date? Report this Post to the Staff
steve - Oz 50c man Valued Member Australia 490 Posts	Posted 09/10/2011 5:28 pm First, it is not a true 50c (doesn't mean I don't want one ;-) It was struck on a 50c planchet, but doesn't have a demonimation, issuing country or date. So in reality, it should be more accurately refereed to as a medallion or some such. Second, it is widely held that this pattern was struck at the RAM in 1988 (even tho' no evidence on the 'coin' itself). Report this Post to the Staff

AaronG Pillar of the Community Australia 518 Posts	Posted 09/12/2011 7:22 pm Sorry for the late reply, I bought the coin from a friend who now lives in a different state. He had financial problems and that is why I got it for a small price. Apparently he resolved his financial problems so guess what? He kept the coin. He did refund my money. Maybe I should have received the coin before I made the topic. I am sorry if I got your hopes up. Report this Post to the Staff
