225 Years of Sydney Cove Settlement Silver-plated Commemorative | Downies Collectables
Downies says about this coin:
The ‘First Fleet’ finished in pure silver!The ‘Sydney Cove’ commemorative represents our country’s founding over 200 years ago. Led by Governor Arthur Phillip, the ‘First Fleet’ arrived at Botany Bay in January of 1788. Finding the area unsuitable for settlement, they continued sailing until January 26th, when they found Sydney Cove in Port Jackson (or Sydney Harbour as it is better known today). The date is now celebrated nationally as ‘Australia Day’. Struck to the highest minting standards, and plated in genuine silver the reverse this 40mm commemorative captures this significant event perfectly.
