VIETNAM WAR SET 2003 - AUSTRALIAN'S AT WAR

Here is an absolutely brilliant collection of coins that have been brought out
by The Perth Mint as a tribute in honor of those who served their
country during five major international conflicts of the twentieth
century.
In commemoration of those Australians who fought and died in the Vietnam
War, The Perth Mint has issued this privy coin, which features a
coloured representation of the Vietnam Medal and ribbon.
The 2003 dated Australian Kookaburra host coin, struck in specimen quality
from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver, is legal under the Australian Currency
Act 1965. The reverse design features a striking depiction of a
Kookaburra, together with the Medal reverse and ribbon in the form of
a coloured privy mark. The obverse depicts Ian Rank-Broadley effigy
of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the monetary denomination of $2.
A miniature replica of the Vietnam Medal and ribbon is included in this
Korean War Set. The reverse depicts a nude male figure pushing apart
two spheres, representing two different ideologies, together with the
inscription VIET NAM. A crowned effigy of Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth II appears on the obverse. The ribbon has a broad central
band of bright yellow surmounted by three red stripes and bordered by
broader red stripes, with dark and light blue stripes at the edges
representing the three services.
In tribute to all Australian service and support personnel who participated in
the Vietnam War, The Perth Mint has designed and produced a
commemorative Vietnam War Medallion featuring images associated
with the conflict. Struck from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver and featuring
3D and colour elements, the Medallion is a unique reminder of the
personnel and fighting equipment of the era. As well as the inscription
VIETNAM WAR 1962 - 1972, the Medallion design features an
Australian Army nurse; two 9 Squadron RAAF Iroquois helicopters;
Private Brian Allen, reading a letter to fellow 1st Battalion, 1 RAR
soldier Private Ted McClurkin at Bien Hoa; and HMAS Parramatta,
1968. The obverse of the Medallion features the official 'Australians at
War' emblem, reproduced with the permission of the Commonwealth
Department of Veterans' Affairs.
This beautiful collection of coins comes to you housed in a green leather
look display case with an accompanying Certificate of Authenticity. A
great way to pay tribute to many Australian heroes and an exceptional
set to add to your collection.
