GOLDEN JUBILEE OF CORONATION BI-METAL 2003 COIN

Princess Elizabeth acceded to the throne in February 1952 on the
news of the death of her father, King George VI. On 2 June 1953,
the new Queen, following a 900-year tradition, was crowned in
Westminster Abbey. At the height of the Coronation ceremony,
the Archbishop of Canterbury raised aloft the Crown of St Edward,
before placing it on the head of the monarch. As the ensuing
fanfare rang out, 7000 assembled guests in the Abbey chanted
"God save the Queen". The pure gold centerpiece of the coin
depicts the four effigies of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
that have appeared on Australian legal tender coins since her
Coronation. The pure silver surround bears a circular border
depicting St Edwards Crown and the Order of the Garter Collar.
The Perth Mint's traditional 'P' mintmark is also included in
the reverse design, together with the inscription ELIZABETH II 1953-2003
and ANNIVERSARY OF CORONATION. The design of this 2003-dated
commemorative coin is issued with the approval of Buckingham Palace.
The coin is a legal tender under the 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 7500 individually presented coins.
Each of these coins comes housed in a display case made of Jarrah
and Marri woods and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
This is a stunning coin that has been set out perfectly and would
be the prize possession in any collection.
