2005 Australian and New Zealand Army Corps 1915 - 2005 90th Anniversary Two Coin Silver Dollar Proof Set

The memory of the thousands who lost their lives at Gallipoli has never been lost on the peoples of Australia and New Zealand who share 25 April - ANZAC Day - as one of their most important national occasions.

The design theme portrayed on both silver coins, each struck from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver in proof quality, is 'camaraderie'.

Both coins depict a group of Australian and New Zealand soldiers wearing either Australian slouch hats or New Zealand ‘lemon squeezers’.

A coloured image of the national flag of Australia appears in the design of the Australian coin, which also features the border inscription AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND ARMY CORPS 1915 - 2005.

A coloured image of the national flag of New Zealand appears in the design of the New Zealand coin, which also features the border inscription CAMARADERIE 1915 - 2005 and the words WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.

The two silver coins are housed in a replica of Princess Mary’s Christmas Gift Box, presented to Australian and New Zealand forces in 1915.

This set has a limited worldwide mintage of only 15,000
