No currently circulating Australian coin contains any silver.

The only Australian 50 cent coin to contain any silver was the round 1966 coin which had an 80% silver content, about 0.3416 ounces.

At today's prices about $10.70 USD.

Why was the metallic composition and shape of the 1966 Australian 50 cent coin changed?

The Australian 1966 50 cent coin was the first and last round Australian 50 cent coin produced by the Royal Australian Mint. With the wisdom of hindsight, this coin was a bit of a blunder on the part of the Royal Australian Mint. It was only very slightly larger in size to the Australian 20 cent coin and it had an 80% silver content at a time when the price of silver was increasing rapidly. It took only three of these coins to get one ounce of silver.
