1/2 oz Australian Battle Of The Coral Sea Silver Coin

The War in the Pacific Series from The Perth Mint commemorates the alliance between Australia and the United States during World War II and honors the joint military efforts that helped secure victory in the Pacific theater. These coins pay tribute to the courage and cooperation of Allied forces as they worked together to halt Japanese expansion and restore stability throughout the region.

Following the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, American and Australian forces became key partners in a series of military campaigns across the Pacific. Through coordinated naval, air, and ground operations, the Allies gradually pushed back Japanese forces, ultimately contributing to the end of the war in August 1945. The War in the Pacific Series recognizes this historic partnership and the sacrifices made by those who served.

The obverse features the fourth-generation effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley in 1998. This portrait appeared on British and Commonwealth coinage for many years and is accompanied by the coin’s denomination and issuing nation.
