2020 The Man from Snowy River Banjo Paterson 50 Cent Coin on Card

Why We Chose It: This distinctive 50 cent coin celebrates The Man from Snowy River, one of Banjo Paterson’s best-known and most enduring bush ballads. First published in The Bulletin in 1890, the poem tells the story of a courageous young horseman whose extraordinary ride through the rugged mountain country earns the respect of the experienced stockmen around him. Its themes of bravery, horsemanship and determination have become firmly woven into Australian culture. Issued as part of the Royal Australian Mint’s Treasured Australian Poetry series, this carded release brings together Australian literature, bush heritage and numismatics in a particularly engaging collectable.
