2009 $5 Silver Proof Coin 2009 $1 Uncirculated Coins 150 Years of State Government - Queensland Queensland has come a long way since being declared a colony by Queen Victoria in 1859, from early financial budgetary constraints to one of Australia’s strongest economies and most popular holiday destinations. One hundred and fifty years ago Queensland was part of New South Wales, presided over by Queen Victoria. In the 1850’s the people of Queensland began a push for a separate state and sent their petitions to England and the monarch’s attention. On 10 July 1859 the ship - ‘Clarence’ with the word ‘separation’ emblazoned on its hull, sailed into Brisbane, bringing with it the news that on 6 June 1859, Queen Victoria had signed the Letters Patent declaring a new colony. The jubilant crowd welcomed this news with a 14-gun salute and fireworks in the harbour. Queen Victoria favoured the name Queensland over the suggested title of Cooksland in honour of Captain James Cook. Once again we have struck a coin to the exacting standards that you have come to expect, with a low mintage, proof finished in over one troy ounce of silver and housed in its own special case - makes all the State Series coins a popular collectible among those who appreciate quality.
