Australia Remembers: Lost Soldiers of Fromelles

This 2010 20-cent coin, the second in the "Australia Remembers" series, commemorates the Battle of Fromelles, known as Australia's bloodiest day. The battle, fought in France on July 19-20, 1916, resulted in 5,533 casualties for the 5th Division and has been described as "the worst 24 hours in Australia's entire history."

The coin serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifice and loss endured during this devastating conflict, which saw speculation for many years regarding the existence of an unmarked mass grave near Fromelles.

With a limited mintage of 37,848, this collector's item is presented in a large coin card, which may exhibit minor wear.
