Added Sections and Removed Citation template

I have been editing this article and removed the help add citations template. I have added the subheadings "Background and Authorisation" and "Design and Production." I intend to add the sections "Economics and Circulation" and "Australian Half Sovereign" soon.Platonist Rainbow (talk) 11:31, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take this review. I should leave comments within a couple of days. ♦ jaguar 14:16, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry to say that I will be quick failing this article. There are numerous issues which cannot be fixed in the scope of a GA review. There are several citation needed tags, incorrectly formatted references and unsourced parts. The prose does not meet the well-written aspect of the GA criteria, and most sections of this article doesn't flow well. Please do not be discouraged - you can see Penny (British decimal coin) or Nickel (United States coin) for related examples that hits every mark. ♦ jaguar 18:34, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
