The Australian Government and most of the population were unwavering in their support of Britain and her allies, and a huge wave of patriotism and support for ‘King and Country’ swept across the nation.

The ANZAC Spirit 1/2oz Silver Proof Three-Coin Set comprises a trio of 1/2oz coins each struck by The Perth Mint from 99.9% pure silver in proof quality. Each coin is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.

The three-coin set is part of The ANZAC Spirit 100th Anniversary Coin Series which will run over five years from 2014 to 2018. A new three-coin set will be released each year during this period each contributing to a five-year collection.

No more than 5,000 of The ANZAC Spirit 2014 1/2oz Silver Proof Three-Coin Set will be released by The Perth Mint.

Australia’s First Action – The coin’s reverse features an Australian soldier running through vegetation while under fire during the fighting for Bita Paka wireless station, near Rabaul in German New Guinea. The inscription ‘1914 – Australia’s First Action’, a red poppy motif and The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark are also incorporated into the design.

Answering the Call – The coin’s reverse features three Australian men at the recruiting office signing up to enlist in World War I. A coloured representation of an Australian soldier in uniform is helping them to fill out the enlistment paperwork. The design includes an engraving of an original attestation paper used to enlist in the Australian Imperial Force. The inscription ‘1914 – Answering the Call’, a red poppy motif and The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark are also incorporated into the design.
