Honouring Anzacs with one-off coin collection
AN EXCLUSIVE one-off collection featuring four “copper” 25¢ coins is set to be released in Australia.
The legal tender coins are the first copper-plated steel versions made by the Royal Australian Mint and will showcase designs replicating military service medals such as the Victoria Cross. For many, it will be the first time they have seen a copperlooking coin since the 1¢ and 2¢ pieces went out of circulation 25 years ago.
Set for release before Anzac Day, the limited edition Legends of the Anzacs: Medals of Honour collection is an initiative of News Corp Australia – publisher of the
Gold Coast Bulletin and the Sunday Mail – the Mint, Legacy and Westpac.
The four 25¢ pieces – featuring the Victoria Cross, George Cross, Distinguished Flying Cross and Medal for Gallantry – will be available along with 10 silver 20¢ coins.
START YOUR COLLECTION WITH A FREE 25¢ VICTORIA CROSS COIN AND COLLECTOR CASE WITH THE SUNDAY MAIL ON APRIL 9, AND A 20¢ STAR OF GALLANTRY COIN IN THE BULLETIN ON APRIL 10. SEE DISCOVERTHESTORIES.COM.AU
