Details

Honouring past and present Australian Service Nurses who have made military history behind and beyond the battlefields, the Royal Australian Mint produced a commemorative themed 20c coin. The 20c coin design perfectly captures a nurse in her personal effort to bring comfort and assistance to a wounded “Aussie Digger”, whilst upholding the highest traditions of the nursing fraternity.

Australian Service Nurses first served with Australian troops in the Colonial
Military Forces in South Africa, during the Boer war and have since seen
active service in both world wars, Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Rwanda,
Bougainville, East Timor and more recently in the Gulf and Afghanistan
conflicts.
