Below you can find links to mintage tables and below those tables you can find links to each of the individual dollar articles we’ve written in the last year. However, the actual item you will receive is guaranteed to be similar to that shown and exactly as described.We were surprised to see exactly how much we’ve written about the much collected Australian dollar coin and decided it was time to pull all of the information into one blog entry for easy reference.
You will NOT receive the exact item that was photographed to create the Reference Images. The "Reference Images" used in this listing Description were created by Liberty Coin for reference only to depict the quality of the item you will receive. The obverse design has Ian Rank-Broadley's effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and inscriptions that include 25 DOLLARS, 2015, 1/4 OZ 9999 GOLD, ELIZABETH II and AUSTRALIA. The Perth Mint's mint mark, "P", is to one side of the design. Inscriptions include BATTLE OF THE CORAL SEA and WAR IN THE PACIFIC 1941-45. The Battle of the Coral Sea was a highly significant World War II engagement that effectively stopped the Japanse advancement to the south and has been referred to as the battle that saved Australia. The reverse design features a battleship sailing the Coral Sea. Lasting from 1941 until August 1945, the Americans combined with the Australians lead the Pacific Ocean region to freedom and safety, pushing the Japanese back and securing victory for the Allies. The United States Navy, Marine Corps, and Army began a long-term island-hopping campaign that swept across the Pacific Ocean toward the home islands of Japan. Once the Japanese attacked the American Naval Fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, a sleeping giant was awakened. Throughout much of the 1930s, the Japanese had expanded out from their home islands in a war that went largely unnoticed, or at least drew no reaction from most world powers. During the War, Australian and American forces came together to defeat the widespread threat of the Japanese Imperial Navy and Army.
