2020 50c Supercars 1983 Mazda RX-7 Coin & Stamp Cover PNC.

Allan Moffat was Ford's main man throughout the 1970s, firstly in his distinctive Trans-Am Mustang and later in a succession of Falcon V8s, winning three ATCC titles during that time.

Then in the 1980s, after a long campaign to race the Mazda RX-7 in Australian touring car racing, the Canadian-born racer took to the wheel of this little 1.2-litre rotary-powered sports coupe from Japan.

Moffat's speed and determination, combined with the nimble handling of the lightweight Mazda, proved a formidable match for his V8-powered rivals, holding them off to secure his fourth ATCC title in 1983.

Issued as Australian legal tender, the uncirculated cupro nickel coin is housed in a beautifully designed card with a circular window revealing the coin's reverse and obverse designs.

The coin's obverse features the Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the 2020 year-date and the monetary denomination.
