Comments

Wizyta króla Jerzego VI, księżniczki Elżbiety i księżniczki Małgorzaty w Nowej Zelandii i Australii została zaproponowana na rok 1949. W miarę zbliżania się daty podróży stało się jasne, że zły stan zdrowia króla nie pozwoli na jej realizację.

Mennica Królewska w Londynie przygotowała już 200 020 egzemplarzy dla upamiętnienia wizyty. Spośród nich 190 000 zostało wysłanych do Nowej Zelandii, podczas gdy rząd Nowej Zelandii poczynił przygotowania do dystrybucji pozostałej części dla kolekcjonerów: 4020 w Wielkiej Brytanii, 1000 w Kanadzie i 5000 w USA.

A visit to New Zealand and Australia by King George VI, Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret was proposed for 1949. As the dates for the tour grew near, it became apparent that the King’s ill health would not allow it to take place.

200,020 copies had already been prepared by the Royal Mint, London to commemorate the visit. Of these, 190,000 were shipped to New Zealand, while the New Zealand Government made arrangements for the balance to be distributed for collectors: 4020 in the UK, 1000 in Canada and 5000 in the USA.
