2005 $1 Coin - 90th Anniversary Gallipoli Landing 1915-2005

Commemorating the 90th Anniversary of the ANZAC Gallipoli Landings

On April 25th, 1915, Australian and New Zealand troops landed on a small bay on the Gallipoli peninsula, defended by the Ottoman Turkish Empire. This combined force became known as the ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) force, and the bay is now known as Anzac Cove. ANZAC Day, the 25th of April, is a significant military holiday in both Australia and New Zealand.
