DETAILS

The Royal Australian Mint presents this 2026 Three-Coin Coloured Silver Proof Set to mark the 85th anniversary of three key chapters of Australia's military involvement in 1941.

North Africa and Middle East Campaigns

In early 1941, the Allies gained Italian positions in Libya but were then pushed back eastwards across the North African coast by a German counterattack. The defiant garrison of Tobruk, mainly comprised of Australians, was a bright spot in this dark time. The Allies also defeated Vichy French forces in Lebanon in July.

Greece and Crete campaigns

Australians served alongside New Zealand and British troops in a doomed attempt to counter the German invasion of Greece. During the campaigns, Australians forged ties with Greeks and Cretans that endured after the war.

Establishment of women's services

Women's auxiliary services were established: the Women's Auxiliary Australian Air Force (WAAAF), Women's Royal Australian Naval Service (WRANS) and Australian Women's Army Service (AWAS). Packaged together in a special presentation case exclusive to this release, the three coins in this set commemorate these major events of 1941.

The coins also have the rare distinction of being coloured 20c proof coins.
