This Two Gold Coin Set comprises one Australian and one NZ coin, both struck by The Perth Mint from 1/4oz of 99.99% pure gold in proof quality.
That makes half an ounce of solid gold all up.
The design theme is remembrance - the Australian coin depicts a slouch hat resting on a rifle beside a bayonet, symbolizing the spot where a soldier fell on Turkish soil.
The image, reminiscent of a past ceremonial scene at Gallipoli on ANZAC Day, is portrayed against names of soldiers killed during the fighting.
It is surrounded by the inscription AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND ARMY CORPS 1915 - 2005.
The NZ coin depicts a lone bugler wearing a 'lemon squeezer' hat.
At ANZAC Day services in Australia and New Zealand, a lone bugler sounds the Last Post, followed by Reveille.
The image is portrayed against names of soldiers killed during the fighting at Gallipoli, and surrounded by the inscriptions REMEMBRANCE 1915 - 2005 and WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
The two gold coins are housed inside a replica World War I leather ammunition pouch, similar to those worn by Anzac soldiers at Gallipoli to carry rounds for the Short Magazine Lee Enfield rifle.
Accompanying the coins is a numbered Certificate of Authenticity, which is illustrated with images from the era and a map of ANZAC Cove.
Both items are contained in an outer presentation box featuring a matching design.
The coins, case, outer shipper, and certificate are all included and remain in excellent condition.
