Reverse
Engraved by Wojciech Pietranik
Description:
The reverse depicts St Edward's Crown, Australia's Federation Star, the dates 2002 and 1952, the denomination 50 and Royal Ciphers EIIR (for Elizabeth II Regina - Queen Elizabeth the Second) and GEORGE VI intersected by the words ELIZABETH ACCESSION and FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY in a quaternary design. St Edward's Crown is a symbol of the Queen and Her Majesty's role as Australia's Head of State and was first used for the coronation of Charles II in 1661 and used in most coronations since that time, including that of Queen Elizabeth II. The seven-pointed Federation Star is a symbol of Australia's federal system of government, and appears on the national flag. The seven points of the Star represent the six Australian States and Territories.
