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.
