‘THE ROYAL TOURS OF HER LATE MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II COMMEMORATIVE SET’
Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II expressed a deep and abiding love for Australia, declaring in 2000, “Whatever the future may bring, my lasting respect and deep affection for Australia and Australians everywhere will remain as strong as ever.” She also affirmed her connection to the nation during the 1999 Republic Referendum, noting, “My family and I would, of course, have retained our deep affection for Australia and Australians everywhere, whatever the outcome.”
Elizabeth II was the first reigning monarch of Australia to set foot on Australian soil, stepping ashore at Farm Cove on 3 February 1954 at just 27 years of age. Over the course of her remarkable reign, she visited every Australian state and the two major territories during sixteen official journeys, each celebrated by crowds of Australians eager to see their Queen.
From the epic nationwide tour in 1954, where three-quarters of the population turned out to welcome her and the Duke of Edinburgh, to her later engagements, The Queen became known for her ‘Royal Walkabouts,’ personally mingling with well-wishers and transforming the way royalty connected with the public. Her record-breaking seven-decade reign saw her serve as Head of State in fifteen countries and lead a Commonwealth of 54 nations, embodying stability, duty, and grace in an ever-changing world.
In celebration of her enduring legacy and in honour of her most important tours to Australia, The Bradford Mint is proud to present the exclusive ‘The Royal Tours of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II Commemorative Set’, featuring richly detailed portrait profiles of The Queen throughout her reign, each surrounded by an ornate embossed wattle border — a fitting tribute to a monarch whose dedication and connection to Australia remain forever in the nation’s heart.
