2013 50c Mt Panorama 50 Years of The Bathurst Endurance Race Uncirculated Coin

When Bathurst Mayor Martin Griffin opened the Mount Panorama Scenic Drive in 1938, he could only imagine that the 6.2 kilometre stretch would one day become Australia's most famous raceway. Bathurst's endurance racing history began with the Armstrong 500 in the early 1960s. This 500 mile race underwent many modifications, the most significant being its change to 1000 kilometres in 1973. Now part of the V8 Supercars Championship, the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 represents the beating heart of motorsport for Australian fans.
