History Redcliffe has commissioned ten solid silver medallions to be released, one per annum, in the lead up to the 200th Anniversary of the first European settlement at Redcliffe in Moreton Bay; a small settlement that would eventually lead to the establishment of the State of Queensland.
Produced by the Royal Perth Mint, these medallions are 99.9% pure silver, 32mm in diameter and come in an attractive Presentation Box.
These medallions will have a limited release of up to 250 and will each reflect the history of the Redcliffe Peninsula with an appropriate emblem.
The individual medallions will not be numbered but each medallion will be issued with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
These commemorative medallions have been produced with the generous assistance of the Regional Arts Development Fund.
