| Additional information |
The Diamond Jubilee issues of 2012 flooded Commonwealth mints worldwide, and Papua New Guinea's contribution is easily overlooked in that crowded field. What distinguishes the Bank of Papua New Guinea's participation is institutional — the central bank was itself only established in 1973, a year before independence, making it a young issuer commemorating a reign that predated the country's existence by two decades.
