Capturing the moments before the ANZAC troops landed on April 25th 1915, with dawn beginning to break over the sheer cliffs they would soon confront, the Perth Mint’s 2015 $1 WWI Making of a Nation 1oz Silver Proof forms an innovative tribute to the centenary of the Gallipoli Campaign.

Spanning an imposing 40.60mm, the crownsized flan is dominated by an ingenious design. A unique take on the Allied invasion, the landing is portrayed from the perspective of those on the boats, stealthily and silently gliding towards Anzac Cove. The full-colour representation of the dawn over Gallipoli adds an undeniably haunting quality to this important commemorative coin.

A compelling commemoration of perhaps the most decisive moment in Australian history, the mintage of this Australian legal tender coin has been set at 7,500.
