zic Valued Member Australia 121 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 04:06 am 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 Report this Post to the Staff

steve - Oz 50c man Valued Member Australia 490 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 5:21 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff

steve - Oz 50c man Valued Member Australia 490 Posts	Posted 09/16/2011 12:40 am 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?

Can't say I've heard of it. Where did you hear about it? Report this Post to the Staff
Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 09/16/2011 8:52 pm 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/ Edited by Mr T 09/16/2011 8:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff
