A normal coin is what is released into circulation. A Proof coin is one that has been struck on specially prepared and polished dies and hand polished to give a mirror like finish. Proof coins can be minted in the same metals as normal coins, but quite often, they are minted in precious metals. Proof coins are not intended for circulation, but for investors and serious collectors and they are usually packaged for protection and sold in their year of minting for a price much greater than the face value of the coin.
This "mule" coin came about when the obverse of the Indian Quarter Anna coin and the reverse of the Australian Halfpenny were used together. There is thought to be 10 or less of these coins in existence. Both the Indian coin and the Australian coin were minted at the Calcutta Mint.

The rarest Australian Halfpenny issued for general circulation would be the 1923 Halfpenny. It is thought that there were only 15,000 minted. One of these coins, even in poor condition, might fetch over $1,000 AUD. The rarest of all Australian Halfpennies is the 1916 "mule". It has the reverse of the Australian Halfpenny and the obverse of the Indian Quarter Anna coin struck on an Australian Halfpenny blank (or planchet). These are an error coin and should never have made it into circulation. It is thought that less 10 were struck and are worth tens of thousands of Dollars AUD. All known examples of this coin are accounted for.
