2018 Macquarie Lighthouse Bicentenary Stamp and Coin Cover PNC
Description
The Perth Mint and Australia Post have released this stamp and coin cover celebrating the bicentenary of the construction of the Macquarie Lighthouse.
Australia’s earliest colonial lighthouse, first exhibited on 30 November 1818, is an imposing 26m tall landmark on Sydney Harbour’s southern headland overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Still a fully operational lighthouse, it continues to help ships and other vessels sail safely through the entrance to the harbour.
Featured on the reverse of the coin is a depiction of the historic lighthouse with a representation of the beams of light that are a beacon to vessels entering Sydney Harbour in darkness
