The Royal Australian Mint is honoured to commemorate Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II with a beautiful 50c coin design in both fine silver proof and uncirculated finishes. These coins celebrate the Queen's seven decades of devotion and service, as well as the indelible mark she has left on Australian numismatics.

In 1947 a young Princess Elizabeth made a speech that was broadcast around the world in celebration of her twenty-first birthday. In it, the young royal dedicated her life to the service of the Commonwealth:

I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.

These words would prove to be truly prophetic when, five years later she would ascend the throne as Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, starting a historic reign of over seventy years the longest of any British Monarch.
