2020 Waltzing Matilda Banjo Paterson 50 Cent Coin on Card

Why We Chose It: This distinctive 50 cent coin celebrates Waltzing Matilda, one of Australia’s most recognisable and enduring bush ballads. Written by Andrew Barton “Banjo” Paterson in 1895, the song has become deeply connected with Australian identity, storytelling and the romance of the bush. The reverse design brings scenes from the much-loved ballad to life, including the swagman, grazing sheep and the gum tree beneath which he waits for his billy to boil. 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 particularly engaging collectable.
