COMMEMORATING A NON-EVENT

In earlier issues we discussed coins designed to commemorate
events which never came to pass, as a result of Yossi Dotan's
initial question and responses by Gar Travis and others.

This week Martin Purdy writes: "The 1949 New Zealand crown
(5 shillings) was issued for the Royal Visit which was canceled
because of the King's ill health. There is another more recent
example, the $5 commemorative of 2001, for a further Royal
Visit which was canceled, this time in the wake of September 11,
if I remember correctly. "
