2015 ANZAC Centenary Silver Coloured 2 Coin Proof Set

At the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, Australia and New Zealand joined forces and were deployed to capture Turkey’s Gallipoli peninsula and ensure the Dardanelles Strait was open to the allied navies. Landing on Gallipoli on 25 April 1915, with battles ahead of them that would change both countries forever. Many made the ultimate sacrifice, but left a distinguished legacy, the Anzac legend. Each year on 25 April, both countries observe Anzac Day, commemorating the servicemen and women who have served and sacrificed in war, conflict and peacekeeping operations.
