Here are some more medals that did not appear in Allan Klenman's book.1 Like those featured in my previous article,2 I have given every item a number with a prefix of NK (Not in Klenman) or ND (No Date)..
NK71. Zinc alloy with antique silver plating, size? Issued in 2020 by the Australian Numismatic Society Queensland Branch for the sestercentenary of Cook’s first arrival at Australia. Made by Trend Corporate of Marrickville, Sydney. The people mentioned on the reverse were selected as important historical figures whose lives helped to fashion the egalitarian and caring society that is Australia today.
