Custom Order for 1927 Australian Parliament House Silver Florin coin ring

History

1927 Opening of the First Parliament House, Canberra Australia

Australia’s first commemorative coin marked the opening of Parliament House in Canberra.
The Federal Parliament transferred from Melbourne to Canberra in May 1927 and was opened in a grand ceremony by the future George VI known then as the Duke of York and his wife, The Queen Mum, as she became known as in her later years.
Although designed by Sir Edgar Bertram Mackennal, who designed the normal circulating George V issues, the portrait is of a distinctive style, showing a crowned George V facing left. It is obvious from patterns that the design was modified many times before finally settling on this likeness.
The reverse, which features Parliament House framed in an ornamental panel and resting on crossed maces, with the date also in a heavily ornamented panel, was designed by George Kruger Gray, who more famous for his designs of the more stylized Australian Coat of Arms introduced on florins in 1938 and the reverse of the 1934/35 Melbourne Centenary florin. This design is regarded as one of his most delicate efforts.
I can make any size between M and U 1/2 (Australia) or 16 and 10.5 (US and Canada). The shape and the width of the ring will depend on the size. For example the biggest size U 1/2 will measure around 8mm on the width of the ring. And the smallest size Q will measure around 10mm plus.
