Description
On the centenary of the First World War battles on Gallipoli, four of the countries touched by that campaign have contributed

these countries now share and will be a popular piece for coin collectors, military enthusiasts and those whose families served
on Gallipoli.

British coin’s reverse features a map of the nautical position of Gallipoli and the Gallipoli shore with emerging boats
Australian coin’s reverse features the Lone Pine and headstones of many whose lives were lost
New Zealand coin’s reverse features a wounded soldier being carried off the battlefield by a colleague, a tribute to the Anzac spirit
