Sorry Kell, This is the standard issue coin.
I can send you an incused coin if you like so that you can see the difference "In Hand" :ok:

PM me your address because Old Stupid has lost his address book AGAIN :dash1::laugh2:

 thanks very much for your offer jim , but don't worry about it , I had some myself that I bought on ebay , but I gave them to my kids in Brisbane  so I cant compare it with them now , but it is just one I got in my change on the weekend and I can not tell the difference as my eyes are not as good now as they used to be .. its all good ..  ,, kel ,,

Kel,
Have a look at 2000 Fifty Cent Millennium Incuse Flag Variety (http://wiki.australian-coins.net/wiki/australian-coins/decimal-coins/fifty-cent-coins/fifty-cent-errors-varieties/2000-fifty-cent-millennium-incuse-flag-variety/). The second pair of photos are good for showing the differences (even if I do say so myself).
The obvious thing I immediately noticed is the double line between the inner and outer crosses -not incused.
