2021 50c Supercars Holden Commodore VS 1998 Craig Lowndes Coin & Stamp Cover PNC

2021 50c Supercars Holden VS Commodore 1998 Craig Lowndes Coin & Stamp Cover PNC.

The VS was the final iteration of the much-loved second-generation Commodore, powered by a large 5.0 litre Chevrolet V8 engine producing 450kW of power.

Who better for the Holden Racing Team to put at the helm of this beast than Craig Lowndes, the young homegrown hero who won his debut ATCC title in 1996, at age 20, and who had recently returned from a stint in Europe.

In 1998, "The Kid" immediately picked up where he left off, winning the Sandown round and sending a warning to his more experienced rivals, including fellow teammate Mark Skaife, who had replaced retired superstar Peter Brock. Lowndes went on to win half of the season's rounds and take our his second ATCC title.

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 stamp and coin cover features an illustrated envelope featuring the 1998 Holden VS Commodore. It also includes an Australian $1.10c commemorative stamp and is post marked First Date of Issue 19 January 2021, Bathurst NSW 2795.

The coin's obverse features the Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the 2021 year-date and the monetary denomination.
