Tokelau 2020 $1 Queen Elizabeth II 1940 Wartime Broadcast 1oz Silver Proof Coin (No Tax)
On October 13, 1940, at age 14, the future Queen Elizabeth II made her first public speech in a BBC Children's Hour radio address to the children of the Commonwealth. The short speech, which occurred during the Battle of Britain, expressed sympathy for children separated from their homes and families by war, and inspired courage and cheerfulness in the face of devastation.
This 2020 coin, made from 99.99% fine silver, was minted to commemorate the 80th anniversary of then-Princess Elizabeth's broadcast. The distinctive "Royal Star" shape makes for a unique and elegant piece, and the selectively colourized high relief engraving is truly showstopping. The coin comes complete in its original case, with COA and outer packaging.
