Flick the switch and step back into 1956 with this dazzling Coloured Silver Proof 50c from the Royal Australian Mint. Celebrating 70 years since Australia’s first television broadcast, the reverse explodes with colour and detail — a busy collage of classic TV icons, film reels, microphones, music notes and the glowing screen that changed how a nation gathered, laughed and watched history unfold.

Struck in pure silver to impeccable proof quality and finished with vivid colour, the coin is presented in a sleek black display case inside a themed outer box that captures the golden age of Australian television. A limited and eye-catching tribute for collectors who still remember the magic of “Good evening and welcome to television.”
