Comment
In April 1915, just eight months after Britain declared war on Germany on 4 August 1914, soldiers from Australia and New Zealand – organised into the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) – landed on the Gallipoli peninsula, with the aim of assisting in the allied effort to command the Dardanelles and to knock Ottoman Turkey out of the war.Gallipoli was a costly military failure for the allies, but from the loss the Anzac legend was born. ANZAC soldiers had battled heroically and gained a compelling place in the national psyche of their home countries. Theirs was a story of courage and endurance in the face of death and despair. Their initiative, mateship, humour, endurance, bravery and sacrifice in times of extreme adversity created a lasting sense of national identity for both Australia and New Zealand.
The 2015 ANZAC Coin and Stamp Set consists of two 1/2 oz proof coins, an official Australia Post stamp and an official New Zealand Post stamp.
The coin was only released as part of this dual Australia/New Zealand limited edition set.
