2024 Change of Monarch Uncirculated Six Coin Set – AlBr / CuNi
Australian coins are undergoing a transformation not seen for 70 years, as the effigy on the obverse changes from Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II to His Majesty King Charles III. The Royal Australian Mint commemorates this historic numismatic turning point with this unique and historic 2024 Six-Coin Uncirculated Year Set – Change of Monarch.
Tradition holds that Australian legal tender coins bear the effigy of the Monarch on their obverse. A tradition that these six coins pay homage to as we commemorate the change of Monarch.
Together these six coins commemorate not only the historic succession from Queen to King, but also an important moment in Australian numismatics.
Each coin is struck by Royal Australian Mint and are issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965 with the set having a maximum mintage of 100,000.
DESIGN
Each of the coin’s reverse features the iconic designs of Australia’s 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, $1 and $2 coins.
The obverse features portraits of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Mary Gillick, Arnold Machin, Raphael Maklouf, Ian Rank-Broadley and Jody Clark appear on five of the coins while the new effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Daniel Thorne appears on the sixth. In keeping with tradition the new portrait of The King will face left, the opposite direction from the effigies of his mother.
PRESENTATION
These coins come packaged in the Royal Australian Mint’s six coin protective capsule slab with a presentation shipper.
