Re-Run Coins, Gold & Silver Bullion Auction & Much More
A trio of oval-shaped commemorative proof coins issued by the Bank of Zambia to celebrate the centenary of HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother (1900-2000). Each coin features a distinct photographic-style portrait on the obverse: a youthful portrait titled The Early Years, a seated portrait titled Coronation 1937, and a portrait in later life titled An Enduring Presence. The peripheral inscriptions read HM QUEEN ELIZABETH THE QUEEN MOTHER 1900-2000 and A COMMONWEALTH NATION PAYS TRIBUTE. The coins are presented in their original clear plastic capsules within a red velvet-lined Bank of Zambia presentation case. An accompanying specification sheet indicates three possible compositions for the issue: .999 gold, .925 sterling silver, or cupronickel; these examples are of a silver-coloured metal.
Size: 48mm x 30mm
Weight: 20 grams each (as per specification sheet).
