Australian Silver Proof Dollars

1999 The Last Anzacs

.9999 Fine Silver

The Royal Australian Mint produced just 25,000 of The Last Anzacs $1 silver coins as a memento to those Anzacs who fought more than 80 years ago. Sadly these Anzacs are passing on, and soon their era will be gone. Yet, living on, as a legacy to their nations, are the traditions they forged under shell and rifle fire.
What began as an acronym - ANZAC, for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps - has entered our language as a word in its own right. ‘Anzac’ means mateship; a spirit of courage, strength in adversity, selflessness and initiative tempered with a laconic humour. They served us proudly and have entered forever into the national psyche after their "Baptism of Fire"

The fine silver coin depicts a frosted image of an ANZAC soldier against a mirror-like background. Presented in a case, the packaging of this encapsulated coin features Anzac Cove.
