1979 Matthey Garrett - Western Australia Anniversary 1oz. A special commemorative medallion celebrating the 150th anniversary of Captain James Cook's Proclamation. The medallion features the Parmelia and the Kangaroo Paw on opposites sides. "Sulphur" brought the first Governor, Captain James Stirling, the first settlers and a continent of troops to the Swan River Colony. Its passengers disembarked on Garden Island on the 1st June 1829, and a Special Proclamation was made on the 18th June 1829. The Kangaroo Paw is an unusually shaped and coloured flower and is Western Australia's Floral Emblem.

There are several species, varying in colour and size and all are native only to Western Australia. The flower is green, covered in a soft downy wool, with the bright red of the base extending down the length of the long flowering stem.

Each medallion is meticulously struck by Ringcraft/Matthey Garrett from 1oz of 99.9% pure gold. The medallion's reverse depicts the barque "Parmelia" over a background map of the Perth region with the longitudinal (116 E) and latitudinal (32 S) lines marking the rounded coordinates for Perth City. The obverse of the medallion depicts a frosted Kangaroo Paw over a mirrored background with the inscriptions' WESTERN AUSTRALIA' and' 150 YEARS', as well as a Matthey Garrett' MG' mintmark.

The medallion is housed in presentation packaging comprising a display case accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity. Please note that this item has been sourced from a private collection and may show slight markings on the packaging. Some patina on both sides. During periods of high demand, delays may occur.
