LIMITED edition collectable coins commemorating the Anzac spirit have been released by Perth Mint.
THE Baptism of Fire 2oz gold coin depicts Australian and New Zealand soldiers scaling the cliffs above Anzac Cove, and features a red poppy and an inscription.
The Making of a Nation 1oz silver coin shows the troops in wooden row boats near the Gallipoli shore, with its rugged terrain in the background.Both coins are part of the five-year Anzac Spirit 100th anniversary coin program, marking Australia's involvement in World War I.About 10,000 Australian and New Zealand troops lost their lives at Gallipoli, and a further 18,000 soldiers were wounded.Perth Mint spokesman Ron Currie said although Gallipoli was considered a costly military failure, it sparked the start of the Anzac legend."The Anzac Spirit coin series recognises this incredible story of valour, mateship and sacrifice, all of which were exhibited at the Gallipoli landing," he said.Only 100 Baptism of Fire gold coins will be released at $5050, while 7500 of the Making of a Nation silver coin will be available at $99.Perth Mint will also soon release a Lest We Forget 1kg silver hero coin and a Goodbye Cobber 1/4oz gold coin.Anda sedang membaca artikel tentang
