"We thought this was a really fun way to engage people in code-breaking with the hope that, if they make it through all four levels of coding on the coin, maybe they'll apply for a job at the Australian Signals Directorate."

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Hello there @ilank14 , good to see you. That looks like the sort of puzzle I'll leave to someone with a brain.

Agreed, so I thought I would put it to the brains trust at The Precious Metal Forum!

Just when I am getting somewhere.... there is piggen Morse code as well which I will have to look up. 

And I doubt I have anything really. so can anyone cypher the front of the coins Morse code?

PS look at the back and pay attention to the numbers and also the tiny patterns on the 6'oclock position.

....and it has been cracked!

Ok I give up! I thought I was onto something but clearly not. That 14 year old must be brilliant

I have decoded it. It says “Put another shrimp on the barbie Sheila”.

I was sure it said something about tying kangaroos down @ArcaneCollector , but I am happy to defer to your judgement.

I love this coin, there are some nice 50c Australian coins which I still need to get
