1973 Royal Visit & Sydney Opera House Opening Gold Medal Set

The Matthey Garrett 1973 Two-Piece Gold Medal Set commemorates the Royal Visit of Queen Elizabeth II to Australia and the official opening of the Sydney Opera House on 20 October 1973. These historic medals celebrate one of the most significant events in Australia’s cultural and architectural history.

Struck by Matthey Garrett in 18-carat gold, the set comprises two complementary medals. One features a detailed view of the Sydney Opera House overlooking Sydney Harbour, while the second depicts Queen Elizabeth II with the Opera House in the background and the inscription marking the opening ceremony. The reverse of both medals displays a relief map of Australia with the inscription “THE ROYAL VISIT 1973”.

Containing substantial gold content and commemorating an iconic Australian milestone, this medal pair is highly regarded by collectors of Australian historical medals, royal memorabilia, and gold numismatic items. The combination of precious metal content, historical significance, and Australian heritage gives the set enduring collector appeal.

Pre-owned examples are generally selected for resale where they remain in suitable collector condition.
