Released to celebrate the 1988 Australian Bicentennial and the visit of the USCG (United States Coast Guard) Barque Eagle.
It was awarded for participation in Operation Sail aboard the schooling ship which played a part in "Tall Ships" held in Sydney Harbour as part of the Bicentennial celebrations.
The USCG Barque Eagle has quite a history, commissioned under Nazi Germany in 1936 as a training vessel, and taken by the U.S as part of war reparations.
Each medal is in a similar condition to that imaged and is supplied in the original clear case.
Struck on a 4.3 gram aluminium planchet with a diameter of 40mm.
The cases have sustained minor to moderate scuffing/scratches over time.
