Comments
The Royal Australian Mint in conjunction with some Australian Newspapers released this coin as part of a 14 coin set. To get a coin you had to obtain a token from the newspaper and redeem it at a cost of $3.50. Different tokens were published each day for 2 weeks (hence 14 coins). The coins are commemorating events of World War 1 that Australians were involved in. The series is called "Anzacs Remembered".
A special $1 coin was also produced as part of the set which is very difficult to obtain due to very low mintage.
This 20 Cent coin commemorates the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the National War Memorial.
