Collectible coins are a huge part of collector culture. These coins are anything from limited edition currencies, to limited edition memorabilia. Coin collection and appreciation became popular throughout the Renaissance, in the 14th century. Coin collecting became regarded as the “hobby of kings” since only the extremely affluent could afford it. The Italian philosopher and poet Petrarch is recognized as being the pursuit’s earliest and most famous devotee.
One such kind of memorabilia is the AC/DC Uncirculated Limited Edition Collectible Coins. Labeling a coin “uncirculated” simply means they are hand-loaded into the coining press and struck on carefully polished blanks, yet they have a soft, matt-like texture. These coins are created in the same way as circulating coins (which are used as money and are thus “circulated’ every day), but with a unique procedure that gives a beautiful polish. The primary reason for purchasing uncirculated coins is for collectors, as they frequently gain in value over time and are worth more than their circulated counterparts.
The AC/DC 45 Years Of Thunder Aussie Uncirculated 50c Coin is an excellent example. The Royal Australian Mint (RAM) issued this 50 cents non-circulating legal tender (NCLT) coin to honor the ’45th Anniversary’ of the Australian rock band ‘AC/DC.’ This striking coin features Angus Young, AC/DC’s lead Guitarist, in a circle encircled by a crest and feathers. Yellow lightning hits to the left and right.
The electric music of Australia’s top rock band AC/DC turned 45 in 2018. It was unrelenting, direct, and at times irreverent. When they first appeared on the Australian live music scene in late 1973, these hard-working artists took the long route to the top and managed to stay there for decades. This colourful uncirculated coin commemorates Australia’s best rock band AC/45th DC’s anniversary.

Another coin memorabilia available here at the site is the 2020 AC/DC Limited Edition of 7 x 20c Coloured Coins. This authentic AC/DC collection, which includes seven distinct Australian legal 20c coins which is housed in a beautiful RAM packaging, will appeal to both music fans and collectors! High Voltage, TNT, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Ballbreaker, Back in Black, and For Those About To Rock are among the six coins in this seven-coin set that commemorate the debut of one of AC/legendary DC’s albums.
The design of each coin, encircled by a black ring resembling a vinyl record, illustrates an iconic feature of the design of the album’s cover. The seventh coin has the iconic AC/DC emblem and can only be obtained by purchasing this collection!
Importantly for decimal collectors, none of the seven Australian legal tender 20c coins will be circulated. These authentic AC/DC coins will never be found in your change, making them a must-have for anybody looking to complete their collection.
Each 20c coin is encased in a capsule, then placed in a card that fits into a full-color pack for an exciting display. Six of the coins have a pack based on the original cover of the album being commemorated! The seven coins are then placed in an official Royal Australian Mint AC/DC box.
