Description
Commonwealth Accredited Press Pass, for Royal Visit 1952, a trial strike in bronze by Amor, with excess metal around edge. Toned, uncirculated and a rare example of a never issued badge.
In 1949 plans were underway for King George VI to make a Royal Visit to Australia in 1952. However, due to illness he could not make the trip and instead it was proposed that his daughter, Princess Elizabeth and her husband the Duke of Edinburgh would tour instead. Unfortunately, while they were en route to Australia, the King passed away so the tour was cancelled. She later made the tour in 1954 as the Queen.
