2010 150th Running Of The Melbourne Cup Uncirculated 50c

To commemorate the 150th running of the race that stops a nation, the Royal Australian Mint has released this 50c uncirculated coin.

Despite humble beginnings, this race has grown to become one of the biggest annual sporting events in Australia and one of the most prestigious horse races in the world.

The 1861 race had seventeen starters with a crowd of just 4000 spectators. Today it is broadcast worldwide to an audience of around 700 million. The Melbourne Cup has become an integral part of Australia culture that it is almost impossible to imagine the country without it.
