50c 2023 Sydney Opera House 50th Anniversary - Gold Plated Silver Proof
The Sydney Opera House has been a source of wonder since it was a sketch on a page. In 1954, the then NSW Premier, Joseph Cahill, promised a structure that would be a credit to the state for hundreds of years. Then, from a small coastal town in Denmark came a vision from architect Jorn Utzon that would forever change the face of Sydney.
Five decades later, the Opera House is everyone’s house. It is the nation’s premier tourist destination, one of the world’s busiest performing arts centres and a community meeting place that belongs to all Australians.
The coin's reverse depicts the iconic Sydney Opera House, as viewed from the west, in selective gold-plating along with the 50th anniversary Sydney Opera House logo.
