THE MONARCH

Queen Elizabeth II was born on 21 April 1926 and ascended the throne in 1952 at the age of 25, following the death of her father, King George VI. She married Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in 1947, and together they had four children. Her reign spanned 70 years, making her the longest-serving monarch in British history. As Head of the Commonwealth, she fostered unity across diverse nations and remained a steadfast figure on the global stage. Her Majesty passed away on 8 September 2022, and was succeeded by her eldest son, King Charles III. In 2026, the world commemorates what would have been her 100th birthday - celebrating a life of service, dignity and devotion to her country and the Commonwealth.

ROYAL ARTISTRY

The coin’s reverse features a stylised representation of the commemorative florin issued in 1954 to mark Queen Elizabeth II’s first visit to Australia. It showcases a lion and a kangaroo standing side by side, a powerful symbol of the enduring bond between the United Kingdom and Australia. Both the lion and kangaroo, as well as the coin’s outer rim are gilded in 24-carat gold. Surrounding the design is the inscription ‘H.M. QUEEN ELIZABETH II 100th ANNIVERSARY’, accompanied by stylised dots, the 2026 year-date, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.

PRESENTATION PACKAGING

Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, the coin comes in a classic display case with a clear lid and an illustrated shipper.

ABOUT THE PERTH MINT

The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint's 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
