‘HER LATE MAJESTY’S FIRST ROYAL TOUR TO AUSTRALIA COMMEMORATIVE’ 

​

During their first tour of Australia, the Royal couple travelled the country via various modes of transport - car, plane and train – with eager crowds lining the rail tracks as the royal train sped by.

In honour of the famous and much-loved wattle yellow dress designed by Norman Hartnell and immortalised in the ‘wattle painting’ by Australian artist Sir William Dargie the tour became widely known as the ‘Wattle Tour’. By the time the SS Gothic departed on the 1st April 1954, the charm, serenity and sheer majesty of the Queen had been implanted for all time in the Australian psyche. In the approach to what will be the 100th anniversary of the late queen, The Bradford Mint is proud to offer all royal collectors the exclusive ‘Her Late Majesty’s First Royal Tour to Australia Commemorative’ for just $99.00 – a saving of $50.00 off the usual issue price – if purchased between now and December 31.

 

Bearing a Richly detailed profile portrait of the young Queen, surrounded by an ornate border showcasing embossed wattle, along with the words, ‘WATTLE TOUR 1954’ the obverse features two portraits of the queen who reigned for a history-making seven decades - one as a young queen, and the other as a mature Monarch and Head of State.​
