This coin is a fitting tribute to one of Australia's most significant historic events, capturing the spirit of the ANZAC tradition in fine detail. More than any other event in Australia's history, the Gallipoli landing shaped the country's sense of mateship and sacrifice. In 1915 during the Great War, thousands of young ANZAC's stormed the beach of Gallipoli suffering great losses under heavy enemy fire. This event is solemnly recognised on its 90th anniversary, honouring the ANZAC spirit and the bravery of the young men involved. The reverse design features a silhouette image of a bugler playing the Last Post, a stark and poignant reminder of the many souls who paid the ultimate price in the name of freedom. The coin is housed encapsulated in a red leatherette, hinged-lid presentation case protected by a colourful cardboard box and accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity. Second quality, damage to outer box.
