From 1913, Ford's ingenious use of the moving assembly line in his Detroit factory brought the car within the financial reach of ordinary people. Generous wages also had significant impact of industrial relations laws. In addition, the success of the Model T promoted the introduction of a modernized road network across the entire globe. For two decades, the Model T was the world's best-selling car: between 1908 and 1927, a staggering 15 million Model T's were made and sold around the globe. In Australia, the Model T was first made available in 1908 as a know-down kit assembled by local dealers. Its subsequent success lead to the opening of Ford's first Australian factory in Geelong in 1925, where the Model T rolled off the production line until 1928.The stamp tab depicts an Australian-built Model T Ford from 1913.This postal numismatic cover is a limited edition of only 300.Issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965, this uncirculated aluminium bronze coin is housed in a beautifully designed card featuring photographic images.The card includes a circular window revealing the obverse and reverse of the medallion.Affixed to the envelope is an official Australia Post $1.00 stamp, featuring a Silver Foil Ford Logo & postmark First Day of Issue along with Australia Post's Seal of Authenticity.Postmarked First Day of Issue 1 November 2017 - Geelong VIC 3220Denomination :         50cQuality :                   UncirculatedMetal :                     Aluminium BronzeWeight :                   15.5 gmsDiameter :                31.51 mmMintage :                  300Certificate of Authenticity : Australia Post Seal of AuthenticityNote  ; Has slight Australia Post packaging / glue marks on rear of envelope.
