Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 03/17/2008 8:16 pm G'day, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Cook 1970 was the bicentenary of Lt Cook's discovery of the east coast of Australia, which he annexed on behalf of the British. Your coin was the first commemorative issued in the decimal era (1966~). Lt COOK, who later became Captain COOK, is widely remembered in Australia (and New Zealand; and elsewhere): Cooktown; James Cook University; etc. Peter in Oz Edited by Peter THOMAS 03/17/2008 8:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff
