2024 Change of Monarch Six-Coin Fine Silver Proof Year Set

2024 Change of Monarch Six-Coin Fine Silver Proof Year Set

Australian coins are undergoing a transformation not seen for seventy years.

The effigy of Her Lat Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is being replaced by an effigy of His Majesty King Charles III on the obverse of Australian coins.

The Royal Australian Mint commemorates this historic numismatic turning point with this exquisite and historic 2024 Six-Coin Fine Silver Proof Year Set - Change of Monarch.

Tradition holds that Australian legal tender coins bears the effigy of the Monarch on their obverse. A tradition that these six coins pay homage to as we commemorate the change of Monarch.

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 n the sixth. In keeping with the tradition the new portrait of The King will face left, the opposite direction from the effigies of his mother.

This Royal Australian Mint set commemorates this historic numismatic turning point by presenting past and present Royal effigies on the obverses of each coin.

Together they honour this historic reign of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and celebrate our new Monarch, His Majesty King Charles III. 

Presented in a presentation case with outer sleeve.

Each coin is issued as Australian legal tender.
