2002 Queen Elizabeth II Accession 2-Coin Proof Set
Notes:
6 February, 2002, marks the 50th anniversary, or Golden Jubilee, of the Accession of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II to the Throne in 1952. The accession followed the death of her father, King George VI while the Princess and her husband, Prince Phillip, were in Kenya early in a tour of the British Commonwealth. This tour, which was to include Australia and New Zealand, was being undertaken on behalf of the King who was gravely ill at the time of its commencement.
The Canberra Mint also released a 4-coin timber presentation case to enable the 2002 and 2003 Golden Jubilee pairs to be housed in a single collection.
