2005 $1 1915 Gallipoli Silver Proof Coin

Perhaps more than any event in our modern history, the Gallipoli landing shaped our sense of mateship and sacrifice. In 1915 during the Great War, thousands of young ANZACs stormed the beach of Gallipoli suffering great losses under heavy enemy fire. This coin features an image that is a silhouette of a bugler playing the Last Post - a stark and poignant reminder of the many souls who paid the ultimate price in the name of freedom.
