1966 Australian Silver Coin Necklace

A little piece of Australian history that wasn't meant to last 🤎

This necklace features an authentic 1966 round Australian 50 cent coin, the first and only round 50 cent coin ever released in Australia.

Made from 80% silver, the coin was worth more for its silver content than its face value and was withdrawn from circulation after just one year.

That's what makes these coins so fascinating, they were only meant to be part of everyday life for a brief moment, yet somehow many survived and now this one gets to tell a new story.

Set within a sterling silver bezel, both sides of the coin remain visible, from the Australian Coat of Arms to Queen Elizabeth II's first portrait.

A genuine piece of Australian history that can be worn and admired all over again.

🤎The Molly Made Story

I love pieces that make people stop and ask questions and this coin always does.

It spent just a short time in circulation before being withdrawn, yet decades later it's still here, but still carrying its history and still telling its story.

Rather than being tucked away in a collection, this little piece of Australia's past now gets to be worn, admired and enjoyed every day.

Not mass made.
Made to matter.
