1987 Adelaide Lord Mayor’s Medals Gold-Plated Silver Medallion (Altered Reverse / Cull Condition)

The 1987 Adelaide The Lord Mayor’s Medals 18.2g Gold-Plated .925 Sterling Silver Medallion was originally struck as part of the 1987 capital city commemorative series leading up to Australia’s 1988 Bicentennial. Offered here as an altered piece, this item retains its precious metal content and detailed city obverse while featuring a modified reverse face.

The intact obverse displays the official City of Adelaide Coat of Arms, flanked by an English lion and an Australian red kangaroo as supporters, topped by a crest holding a miner’s pick, and featuring the Latin motto Ut Prosint Omnibus Conjuncti (“United for the common good”). Beneath the heraldic motto banner, the small ‘F’ mint mark indicates its origin from The Franklin Mint. The reverse face has been deliberately erased or altered post-mint, showing turned circular tooling marks with faint hand-engraved inscription traces.

Because the original reverse design scene has been removed, this item is offered at a discounted rate reflecting its altered, cull condition. It represents an accessible option for buyers seeking .925 sterling silver content, gold plating, or a distinct sample/cull piece for an Australian municipal medal collection. Galaxy Coins lists this piece with complete transparency regarding its physical condition.
