Through the eyes of a nation not accustomed to conflict at home war in our otherwise peaceful region still seems hard to comprehend so many years later. Uniquely told on these Australian legal tender coins is the story of how war arrived in our area and how we managed a successful defence against experienced and motivated aggressors.
To honour the memory of these events the Royal Australian Mint has struck a set of four 2017 al/bronze one dollar coins featuring Milne Bay Battle of the Coral Sea Kokoda Track Campaign and Sydney Harbour.
