A 34 mm diameter, 53.93 gram, plain edged Gold Medallion Royal with an obverse design depicting the Queen on the throne completes the set which had a total mintage of 1,045. The reverse design on the medallion links the issue of the set to the Commonwealth Games Federation. Fundraising to secure the future viability of the Games was the second purpose for the issue of the set.
The coins and Medallion Royal are displayed in a timber frame which can be removed from the presentation case for see-both-sides viewing. The case is crafted from Australian native timbers - Fiddleback Blackwood for the case with Tasmanian Oak burl veneer inserts - and embellished with rich burgundy velvet.
