1987 Brisbane Lord Mayor’s Medals Gold-Plated Silver Proof Medallion

The 1987 Brisbane The Lord Mayor’s Medals 18.2g Gold-Plated .925 Sterling Silver Medallion was struck in 1987 as part of a prestigious commemorative set issued ahead of Australia’s 1988 Bicentennial. Crafted in 92.5% sterling silver with a rich 24-carat gold-plated proof finish, this medallion celebrates the civic heritage and iconic architecture of Queensland’s capital city.

The obverse displays the official City of Brisbane Coat of Arms, supported by two mythical gryphons and featuring the city’s Latin motto Meliora Sequimur (“We aim for the best”). Positioned directly beneath the coat of arms and above the Brisbane inscription, the small ‘F’ mark denotes its manufacture by The Franklin Mint. The reverse highlights the iconic Brisbane City Hall and King George Square, framed against the modern city skyline.

Featuring mirrored background fields contrasted by deeply frosted raised relief, this proof piece is ideal for collectors of Australian municipal history, capital city commemoratives, and gold-plated silver medallions. Galaxy Coins offers this piece with full confidence in its precious metal purity and historic significance.
