Perhaps initially Morel had thought there existed a 41mm medal and when the 51mm come along it created some confusion?

That 200 years makes Elizabeth IIs reign look so brief that one wonders what all the fuss was about.
However I note that two of us that post on here acquired 1953 10 coin boxed sets of Elizabeth II from the same Christchurch seller over one week. Interesting that the Specimen and Proof sets have the coins arranged differently in the cases and one doesn't have the logo on the inside.
I had that date range for a Conrad coin 40 or so years ago - that does appear to be the span during which they were produced, though telescoping the info in that way is a little misleading. "Maria Theresia 1780 to the present day", anyone?

The 1900s (1900-09) chapter of the Morel medal catalogue update is out now and available for free downloading from www.RNSNZ.org.nz/collector-info/catalogues and also from my archive.org page at https://archive.org/details/@james_tigernuts . Note that this file is quite large at 25 MB (176 pages).
