Description

The centenary of the First World War serves as an opportunity to reflect on how Australia has developed as a country, from a dominion of the British Empire, to an independent, courageous nation, proud of its own distinct persona.
The Australian Government and most of the population were unwavering in their support of Britain and her allies, and a huge wave of patriotism and support for ‘King and Country’ swept across the nation.
The ANZAC Spirit 1/2oz Silver Proof Three-Coin Set comprises a trio of 1/2oz coins each struck by The Perth Mint.

The three-coin set is part of The ANZAC Spirit 100th Anniversary Coin Series which will run over five years from 2014 to 2018. A new three-coin set will be released each year during this period each contributing to a five-year collection.

No more than 5,000 of The ANZAC Spirit 2014 1/2oz Silver Proof Three-Coin Set will be released.

Australia’s First Action – The coin’s reverse features an Australian soldier running through vegetation while under fire during the fighting for Bita Paka wireless station, near Rabaul in German New Guinea.

Answering the Call – The coin’s reverse features three Australian men at the recruiting office signing up to enlist in World War I. A coloured representation of an Australian soldier in uniform is helping them to fill out the enlistment paperwork. The design includes an engraving of an original attestation paper used to enlist in the Australian Imperial Force.

Farewell to Family – The coin’s reverse features an Australian soldier saying goodbye to his crying daughter on the wharf while he waits to board the boat to take him away to war.

Edged lettering features around the coin’s rim with the words, “PRIDERESPECTGRATITUDE •”.

This three-coin set is presented in a round tray which fits inside a beautifully illustrated shipper, and is accompanied by a booklet style numbered Certificate of Authenticity containing information and imagery from the First World War.
