The Secretary General then went on to praise the Kytherian Australians for their “contribution to the economic, social, cultural, business and political life of Australia,” and wrote briefly about the KAA limited edition centenary medallions.

“It is no coincidence that the Collectible Medals issued for the centenary of the KAA were minted by the Royal Australian Mint,” the letter states.
