This commemorative coin proudly acknowledges the service and sacrifice of the original ANZACS. These are some of the most sought after RAM issues. IN THE PRE-DAWN gloom they rowed ashore. Australians and New Zealanders. Little did they know, the 25 April 1915 morn, as they landed at Gallipoli, they would begin a legend whose values and traditions have become a part of the those of both nations.
What began as an acronym - ANZAC, for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps - has entered the lexicon as a word in its own right. 'ANZAC' means mate ship: a spirit of courage, strength in adversity, selflessness, initiative - tempered with a laconic humour. Those ANZACS who fought more than 80 years ago are passing on. Soon their era will be gone. Yet, living on, a legacy to their nations, are the traditions they forged under shell and rifle fire. In later wars and conflicts new generations of Australian and New Zealand servicemen and women have continued to uphold these values.
This beautifully designed coin is a worthy addition to Australia 's most widely collected series.
This coin is struck from aluminium-bronze, measuring 25mm in diameter and is set within a colourful informative, official presentation pack.
