THE first two commemorative coins for the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games have been released to celebrate the Queen's Baton Relay.
The coin design features a baton relay runner surrounded by 70 flags symbolising the Commonwealth nations against a backdrop of the Gold Coast skyline.
"The Royal Australian Mint has a long-standing tradition for celebrating national events and the Queen's Baton Relay is the perfect way to kick off the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games 2018 Coin Program," said Royal Australian Mint chief executive Ross MacDiarmid.
The limited edition $5 QBR Silver Proof Coin (RRP $150 AUD) and $25 QBR Gold Proof Coin (RRP $800 AUD) are available from eshop.ramint.gov.au.
