Interesting fact

The obverse of the coin features a unique design depicting a submarine breaking through the water's surface, with the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge visible in the background. This design is a nod to the historic event that took place on May 31, 1942, when a Japanese submarine attacked Sydney Harbour, causing significant damage and loss of life. The coin's reverse features the standard effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, used on many Commonwealth coins. The coin's unique design and historical significance make it an interesting and valuable collector's item for anyone interested in military history, numismatics, or the Pacific region.
