This postal numismatic cover honours the 75th Anniversary of Peacekeeping in Australia and contains a coloured circulating $2 aluminium-bronze coin produced by the Royal Australian Mint. 

Over the past 75 years, Australia’s participation in peacekeeping activities has beenextensive, embracing missions sponsored by the United Nations, North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, ad hoc coalitions and nation states seeking intervention and stability. The first peacekeeping mission in which Australians participated involved a UN group of military observers in Indonesia in 1947.

Generally, Australian peacekeeping forces have been limited to small numbers of high-level and technical support troops, observers and police. However, significantly large units of combat troops have supported missions, such as Cambodia, Rwanda, Somalia and East Timor. Since 1947, more than 80,000 Australian personnel have participated in over 80 missions. Sixteen Australians have died while on peacekeeping missions.
