    Notes

    During her visit to Australia in April, 2002, the Federal Government presented the Queen with a montage of Australian coins, stamps and badges similar to the Federation Montage. The Queen's montage was based on the original National Gallery of Australia montage with the addition of the Federation twenty cent and fifty cent series.
