GOLDEN JUBILEE OF ACCESSION BI-METAL 2002 COIN

In early 1952, Princess Elizabeth, accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh,
left for an official visit to Australia and New Zealand in the place of
her father, King George VI, who was too ill to travel. She received
news of her father's death and her own accession to the throne,
on 6th February, whilst in Kenya on the first stage of this trip.
The coin's pure silver centerpiece is modeled on the Order of the
Thistle brooch, worn by the Queen as Sovereign of the Order of the
Thistle. Dressed for the annual Order of the Garter service, the
young Queen Elizabeth II is portrayed against a background image
of Buckingham Palace. The Order of the Garter is the most senior
and the oldest British Order of Chivalry, founded by Edward III
in 1348. The Perth Mint's traditional 'P' mintmark is included
in the design. The design of this 2002-dated commemorative coin
is issued with the approval of Buckingham Palace. The coin is
legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965 and is struck
from 99.99% pure gold and 99.9% pure silver, in proof like quality.
The obverse carries the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II
and the monetary denomination. The Perth Mint will issue no more than
7,500 individually presented coins. This coin comes complete to you
housed in an exquisite jarrah timber presentation case, with a marri
timber inlay reflecting the shape of the Order of the Thistle badge.
Also, you will receive a Certificate of Authenticity.
