2018 Australia 1-oz Silver Sapphire Coronation Proof

The Crowning Glory of Queen Elizabeth’s 65^th Anniversary

The year was 1953. The world was only just recovering from the horrors of World War II. Europe was still a continent in tatters with a new “Cold War” blowing its chill winds across the globe. Into this new modern landscape stepped a young royal and the world took a breath and celebrated the grace, style and beauty of the newly crowned Queen Elizabeth II.

In 2018, to honor this historic 65^th Sapphire Anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s coronation, Australia’s legendary Perth Mint has struck an extraordinary 1-ounce silver proof that captures the traditions and royal nobility of that day on June 2, 1953, when Elizabeth placed St. Edward’s Crown on her head.
