2020 Clancy of the Overflow Banjo Paterson 50 Cent Coin on Card

Why We Chose It: This beautifully presented 50 cent coin celebrates Clancy of the Overflow, one of Banjo Paterson’s most recognisable Australian bush poems. First published in The Bulletin in 1889, the poem contrasts the confined routine of city life with an idealised vision of Clancy riding freely through the open Australian landscape. Its memorable imagery and celebration of the bush helped establish Paterson as one of Australia’s most significant literary voices. Issued as part of the Royal Australian Mint’s Treasured Australian Poetry series, this carded release brings together Australian literature, cultural history and numismatics in a meaningful collector piece.
