Australian coins are undergoing a transformation not seen for seventy years. The effigy of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth Il is being replaced by an effigy of His Majesty King Charles Ill 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 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.
Portraits of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Mary Gillick, Arnold Machin, Raphael Maklouf, lan Rank-Broadley and Jody Clark appear on five of the coins while the new effigy of His Majesty King Charles IlI by Daniel Thorne appears on the sixth.
