Benaud face on new coin
Print Edition
THE “voice of cricket” Richie Benaud has been honored with his face on a 50-cent coin in Australia, with a limited mintage inspired by statistics from his storied career.
The former Australian test captain and broadcaster, beloved by fans around the world for his peerless television commentary and his catchphrase “marvellous,” died in his sleep last year aged 84. He played his last test against South Africa in 1964 and the new coin was released to coincide with Australia’s third test against the Proteas under way in Adelaide. The collectible edition has a limited mintage of 95,929, reflecting Benaud’s career achievements, including balls bowled, runs scored and wickets taken.
