  • Remembrance – Inspired by images from El Alamein, Egypt in November 1942. The Fifty cent design captures the sombre and reflective mood of remembrance and of the enormous cost of all conflicts
  • Coming Home – Ilustrates the powerful image of ‘coming home to family. The Twenty 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
