Richie Benaud honoured with 50 cent coin in Australia - zsk77 - 11-24-2016
He was called "the voice of cricket" and now legendary commentator Richie Benaud will be the face of a 50 cent coin in Australia.
Tributes poured in for Benaud, a former Australian Test captain, after his death last year aged 84.
The limited-run coin salutes his career on and off the field, and features iconic fan group "The Richies".
It was conceived with the approval of Benaud's widow, Daphne.

Petition to replace the Queen with Ritchie on all 50c coins?

They missed a great opportunity to mint a 22c coin for this occasion.
