A powerful tribute to Australia’s role in North Africa & the Middle East in WWII, and one of very few Australian legal tender 20c coins featuring full-colour, this issue from the Royal Australian Mint is a must-have for military buff and coin collector alike!
A seminal moment in Australian military history, the successful Allied assault on Italian positions in Libya in 1940 represented the first major ground offence by Australian troops in WWII. Although the Germans recaptured most of the ground the Italians had lost, the Allies did hold Tobruk and its crucial harbour. A major turning point of WWII, the Siege of Tobruk is famous for the courage, mateship, determination and humour of the Aussie diggers who held off the forces of fascism for an extraordinary 241 days. Seeking to prevent Nazi occupation of Lebanon, the Allies invaded in June 1941, capturing most of the region by the middle of July.
Bearing a richly symbolic design distinguished by the colours of the Africa Star, awarded for service in North Africa (1940-43) and Syria (1941), this Australian legal tender issue is obviously a key coin for those interested in WWII. Moreover, it is utterly crucial to collectors. Why? Because not issued for circulation, and never found in change, this affordable release is the only way you can keep your collection complete!
