The only Australian decimal general circulation coin to contain any silver was the 1966 "round" 50 cent coin. It was made from 80% silver and 20% copper. The price of silver soared in 1966/67 and the silver content became much more valuable than the face value of 50 cents. The coins were soon withdrawn from circulation and replaced in 1969 with the more familiar 12 sided cupro-nickel 50 cent coin.
Stuart Devlin designed the reverse of all Australian decimal coins issued in 1966, including the 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cent coins.
