A truly scarce coin commemorating Australia's reigning monarch.
Born in London on 21 April 1926, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is admired and respected worldwide for her devotion to duty and her stabilising influence.
As the world's most travelled Head of State and currently the fourth longest serving British monarch in history, her life and reign have touched millions of people.
At the conclusion of the Queen's tour in 1954, the Prime Minister Robert Menzies stated in an article published in the Sydney Morning Herald: "It is a basic truth that for our Queen we have within us, sometimes unrealised until the moment of expression, the most profound and passionate feelings of loyalty and devotion. It does not require much imagination to realise that when eight million people spontaneously pour out this feeling they are engaging in a great act of common allegiance and common joy which brings them closer together and is one of the most powerful elements converting them from a mass of individuals to a great cohesive nation. In brief, the common devotion to the Throne is a part of the very cement of the whole social structure."
This superb collectible has been struck from 1oz of pure silver to proof condition.
It remains in the official presentation case and coloured outer shipper, and is accompanied by the original certificate of authenticity.
