Double Curb Necklace with (1966) 50c Coin

More than half a century after its release, the 1966 round 50 cent coin remains one of Australia's most recognisable coins. This authentic example is suspended from a rose gold-filled curb chain. Struck in 80% silver and issued for one year only, the original round 50 cent piece was withdrawn when rising silver prices made continued production uneconomical, making it the only round 50 cent coin ever minted in Australia. Designed for versatility, the necklace can be worn at two lengths - 45cm when doubled, or 90cm when worn open. Chain length: 45cm doubled or 90cm open Coin diameter: 31mm Materials: Rose gold-filled chain & beads, rose gold plated authentic 1966 50c coin Each piece is elegantly presented in signature Von Treskow packaging.
