The 50th Anniversary of the Royal Visit Florin
This beautiful coin reproduces the reverse design of the historic 1954-dated Royal Visit commemorative florin, one of only four produced in Australia between 1927 and 1954.
Reverse: Along the rim, “Australia Florin” in brilliant letters on a frosted field. A British lion and an Australian kangaroo standing side by side, in 24-carat gold. At the bottom, “1954 – 2004”.
Obverse: Along the rim, “Elizabeth II”, “Australia”, and the face value. In the center, in a frosted pure silver circle, a 24-carat gold effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's historic 1954 visit to Australia was the first by a reigning Monarch. She received a tumultuous welcome from an estimated 1.5 million people, and was greeted by similarly ecstatic crowds throughout the country.
