2006 Perth Mint PNC - QEII 80th Birthday

2006 Queen Elizabeth II 80th Birthday Stamp and Coin Cover (PNC) Australia Post – Perth Mint

• A Royal Milestone: Commemorates the 80th birthday of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (1926–2006). This landmark release pays tribute to her remarkable reign, capturing the elegance and grace that defined her decades of service as the longest-reigning British monarch.
• Vibrant Coloured 50c Coin: Struck by the Perth Mint, this uncirculated cupro-nickel 50-cent coin features a stunning, multi-coloured reverse design. It portrays the Queen wearing the robes of the Order of the Garter, inspired by the iconic 1953 coronation-era portrait by Sir Cecil Beaton.
• Standard Obverse: The coin's obverse features the traditional Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty and the 2006 year-date.
• Dual Stamp Presentation: Affixed with two official Australia Post stamps released for the Royal birthday:
  • 50c Domestic Stamp: Featuring a contemporary portrait of the Queen.
  • $2.45 International Stamp: Showcasing a regal, high-value portrait.
• Significant Postmark: The stamps are cancelled with a themed First Day of Issue postmark dated 19 April 2006, from Elizabeth, SA 5112—a city named in Her Majesty's honour during her 1954 Royal Tour.
• Nostalgic Christening Insert: This PNC includes a beautiful commemorative insert card depicting a young Princess Elizabeth being held by her parents, the Duke and Duchess of York, at her 1926 christening, providing a rare glimpse into her early life.
• Limited Edition Mintage: A prestigious piece of royal memorabilia with a strictly limited production, making it a cornerstone for any Commonwealth or monarchist collection.
• Condition: Maintained in excellent condition. Please note that as these are authentic postal covers, some minor age-related wear may be present on the outer envelope.
