Houston – Perth Sister Cities Silver 1/2oz Bullion Coin

This stunning coin pays homage to the special relationship shared by Houston, Texas and Perth, Australia.

The energy-themed coin originated with the founding of the Houston-Perth Sister City Association (HSPCA) in 1984, which was based on historical naval ties in WWII and the strong synergies between the two cities’ energy sectors.

Today, Houston and Perth are two of the largest energy hubs in the world, and recently celebrated 30 years of partnership.

The ties between Houston and Perth can initially be traced to the World War II battle of Sunda Strait, where both the USS Houston and HMAS Perth attacked a superior force of Japanese ships in an attempt to stall their advance towards Australia.

Both ships were lost along with many men, but their sacrifice allowed the American and Australian navies to halt the Japanese advance and helped forge the relationship now shared by Houston and Perth. The bond between the two cities was further strengthened during John Glenn’s 1962 spaceflight, when the citizens of Perth turned on all their lights, allowing the astronaut to view the city from orbit.

In the 1980s, when Houston sought to expand its global ties, Perth was an ideal partner for cultural, historical, and economic reasons.

This remarkable Sister Cities coin has been exclusively minted by Perth for Texas Precious Metals. Production will be limited to 500,000 coins.

ABOUT THIS SET:

Discover the larger-than-life animals that once roamed the Australian landscape, with the fifth and final release depicting the Megalania.

This incredible land lizard was the largest of its species to live in Australia and possibly the world.  It is related to modern goannas, notwithstanding its size, and had heavily built limbs, a long torso, large head, sharp serrated teeth and a small crest on its forehead.

Megalania was the largest carnivore to have lived in Australia during the last two million years.  Studies suggest that the animal is also likely to have possessed venom glands, possibly making this the largest venomous vertebrate to have ever existed.

HM Queen Elizabeth II 60th Anniversary of Coronation One Ounce Silver Proof Coin 2013 – Perth Mint

Her Majesty ascended the throne on 6 February 1952 and was crowned Queen Elizabeth II on 2 June 1953 at the age of 27.

On that rainy day in June, an estimated three million people lined the streets of London to catch a glimpse of the Coronation procession, while millions more crowded around newly-purchased television sets to watch the investiture of Britain’s youngest Sovereign since Queen Victoria.

For many, the Coronation represented the beginning of a hopeful new Elizabethan era.
In her glittering Coronation portrait, The Queen wears the Imperial State Crown.

She holds the Royal regalia incorporating the Sovereign’s sceptre-with-cross, representing temporal power, and the Sovereign’s orb, symbolising the Monarch’s role as Defender of the Faith and Supreme Governor of the Church of England. On her right hand, Her Majesty wears the Coronation ring and on both wrists are golden armills.

Over the course of her life, Her Majesty has been witness to many world events from the Second World War to the landing on the moon. She has also seen radical developments in all areas of human endeavour including science, medicine, transport, culture, art and technology.

Her Majesty has also faced many personal challenges with courage, strength and dignity – qualities for which she has become renowned.

The 1oz silver coin is subject to an issue limit. No more than 5,000 of the 1oz silver coins will be released in this packaging from a maximum coin mintage of 7,500. No more than 1,000 of the 1/4oz gold coins will be released.

DESIGNS

The silver coin’s reverse features Sir Cecil Beaton’s official Coronation portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in colour.

The gold coin’s reverse features a struck impression of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in ceremonial regalia, also captured by Sir Cecil Beaton.

Both reverse designs also incorporate the inscription ‘Anniversary of Coronation’ and the dates 1953 – 2013.
