The 1987 Hobart The Lord Mayor’s Medals 18.2g Gold-Plated .925 Sterling Silver Medallion was issued as part of a classic commemorative series honoring Australia’s capital cities ahead of the 1988 Bicentennial. Struck in 92.5% sterling silver and layered in 24-carat gold plate, this proof medallion combines precious metal content with rich Tasmanian heritage.

The obverse displays the official City of Hobart Coat of Arms, complete with an emu and kangaroo as supporters holding apples, the whaling ship crest, and the municipal Latin motto Sic Fortis Hobartia Crevit (“Thus in strength did Hobart grow”). Above the Hobart inscription, the discreet ‘F’ mint mark indicates its origin from The Franklin Mint. The reverse features a relief scene of Sullivan’s Cove and Hobart Harbour, showing historic waterfront buildings and moored vessels against the backdrop of Mount Wellington.

Featuring a polished proof finish with frosted design elements set against mirrored fields, this piece is an ideal addition for collectors of Australian municipal history, state capital commemoratives, and gold-plated silver medallions. Galaxy Coins offers this piece with full confidence in its metal purity and historic craftsmanship.
