"60th Anniversary of the end of the Second World War"
To commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the end of the Second World War, the Royal Australian Mint is releasing the 2005 Six Coin Sets featuring images from the Second World War. The coin set features three evocative designs capturing some of the emotions and spirit of Australia in the 1940s. These designs are representative of:
Peace, Remembrance and Coming Home.
Peace – captures the joy and spontaneity of one of Australia’s most iconic images. The $1 coin features the ‘dancing man’, in Elizabeth Street, Sydney taken on the 15th August 1945 during victory celebrations on VJ Day at end of the Second World War.
Remembrance – inspired by images from El Alamein, Egypt in November 1942.
The 50 cent design captures the sombre and reflective mood of remembrance and of the enormous cost of all conflicts.
Coming Home – illustrates the powerful image of ‘coming home’ to family. The 20 cent design is inspired by an image from the Australian War Memorial (taken on the 29th of July 1945) of an Australian soldier, an ex-prisoner of war returning home and seeingfamily after many years apart.

Two Dollar Limited Edition Pack
An essential for anyone who owns its $1 counterpart, the Last Two Dollar Limited Edition Pack offers that same attractive combination of history, presentation, quality and, best of all, value.
Driven from use by inflation, and by the obvious contrast in cost efficiency when compared with a possible $2 coin, the $2 note was consigned to history in 1985. It was last issued during the Johnston/Fraser signature combination. The $2 coin that replaced it was crafted from aluminium-bronze, and was rightly thought to be a more durable, more economical alternative to the paper note. Issued in Australia’s bicentennial year, the new $2 recognised the nation’s indigenous cultures, with the design featuring a tribal elder beneath the Southern Cross.
Headlined by premium grade examples of these crucial types, protected behind archival quality bubble for long-term preservation, this presentation spans both sides of Australia’s currency crossroads.

2005 Subscription
Silver Proof Dollar Coin
1855 Sydney Half Sovereign
The anticipated ninth release of the Royal Australian Mint’s Subscription Series highlights both an Australian and numismatic milestone –
it is a unique blend of the old and the new.
This coin celebrates 150 years of the Sydney Mint, by honouring one of its most celebrated coins, the
1855 Half Sovereign.
The 1855 Australian sovereign and half sovereign were the first sovereigns to be minted outside Britain. They were introduced at a time when the Gold Rush was shaping Australia's future and when there was a shortage of coins throughout the British Empire.
With the reproduction of this extremely rare masterpiece, in an exciting new setting, collectors have the chance to own a unique part of Australian history. The original 1855 Australian half sovereign has become one of the most sought after coins in the world. Whilst 21,000 were minted in 1855 few survived in good condition fuelling demand for one of the most desirable Australian coins in history.
The coin incorporates both frosted and proof finishes. It is made in fine silver (99.9%) with a proof finish to further emphasis the gold plated depiction of the 1855 Sydney Mint Half Sovereign. The coin is beautifully housed in a display case, with packaging that complements the tone of the coin.
The 2005 Subscription Coin comes with a Certificate of Authenticity which details the specifications and final mintage number.
